== Documentation ==
=== Usage ===
Usage is as follows: 

{{t|t|template name|first parameter|second parameter}}.

To pass named parameters, you can 
* use &lt;code&gt;name &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; value&lt;/code&gt; — {{t|t|Rosharan numeric date|year &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 1172|month &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 5|week &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 10|day &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 6}};
* surround it in &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;nowiki /&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags — &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{t|Rosharan numeric date|&lt;nowiki&gt;year=1172|month=5|week=1|day=6&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/code&gt;; or
* use correctly numbered parameters.

To embed a template in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing noinclude – as in &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;|1=&amp;lt;nowiki /&amp;gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; – then every &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; character in the template markup must be escaped with {{tlx|!}}. An alternative is to use explicit HTML {{tag|table|o}}, {{tag|tr|o}}, {{tag|th|o}}, and {{tag|td|o}} markup.&lt;noinclude&gt;
{{Documentation|content=This is transcluded documentation, which can be transcluded in the /doc pages of various templates like {{tlx|Block indent}} and {{tlx|Quote}}, e.g. under a "Technical issue with block templates" heading or the like.  Right now it takes no parameter other than {{para|1|{{var|foo}}}}, to change the &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; to something else, thus changing the display (and operation) to use something other than {{para|1}} in the shown template operations.

The {{tag|blockquote|o}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
{{markup
|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;
|&lt;blockquote&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
}}

The simplest workaround for this is to use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}, which will convert line breaks to {{tag|br|s}} tags:
{{markup
|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;poem&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/poem&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;
|&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;poem&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/poem&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
}}&lt;noinclude&gt;

To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to {{tag|p}} tags:

{{markup
|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;
|&lt;blockquote&gt;
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
}}&lt;noinclude&gt;

--  Description:  This function detects whether a string or a mw.title
--                object has been passed in, and uses that to find a
--                template name as it is used in template invocations.
--   Parameters:  title - full page name or mw.title object for the
--                template (string or mw.title object)
--      Returns:  String

--         Name:  p.invocation
--      Purpose:  Construct a MediaWiki template invocation.
--  Description:  This function makes a template invocation from the
--                name and the arguments given. Note that it isn't
--                perfect: we have no way of knowing what whitespace was

--                alphabetically sorted, and any parameters with duplicate keys
--                will be removed.
--   Parameters:  name - the template name, formatted as it will appear
--                    in the invocation. (string)
--                args - a table of template arguments. (table)
--                format - formatting options. (string, optional)
--                    Set to "nowiki" to escape, curly braces, pipes and
--                    equals signs with their HTML entities. The default
--                    is unescaped.

== Documentation ==
=== Usage ===
Usage is as follows: 

{{t|t|template name|first parameter|second parameter}}.

To pass named parameters, you can 
* use &lt;code&gt;name &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; value&lt;/code&gt; — {{t|t|Rosharan numeric date|year &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 1172|month &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 5|week &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 10|day &amp;#&lt;span&gt;61&lt;/span&gt;; 6}};
* surround it in &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;nowiki /&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags — &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{t|Rosharan numeric date|&lt;nowiki&gt;year=1172|month=5|week=1|day=6&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/code&gt;; or
* use correctly numbered parameters.

    <text bytes="12993" xml:space="preserve">{{Documentation subpage}}

== Usage ==
{{tlx|Quote}} adds a [[w:block quotation|block quotation]] to an article page.

This is easier to type and is more wiki-like than the equivalent [[w:HTML|HTML]] {{tag|blockquote}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution parameters for author and source.

{{warning|heading=This template is for actual quotations only.|text=Do not use it for block indentation of other material; see {{tlx|Block indent}} for that purpose.}}

=== Examples ===

;Basic use{{colon}}:
&lt;pre&gt;{{Quote
|text=Quoted material.
}}&lt;/pre&gt;

;With attribution displayed{{colon}}: 
&lt;pre&gt;{{Quote
|text=Quoted material.
|author=First M. Last
}}&lt;/pre&gt;

;With more attribution{{colon}}:
&lt;pre&gt;{{Quote
|text=Quoted material.
|author=First M. Last |title="Article Title"  |source=''Book Title'' (date)
}}&lt;/pre&gt;

== Parameters ==

{{para|text}} a.k.a. {{para|1}}—The material being quoted, without quotation marks around it. It is always safest to name this parameter (rather than use an unnamed positional parameter), because, otherwise, any inclusion of a [[Template:=|non-escaped "=" character]] (e.g., in a URL in a source citation) will break the template.

=== Displayed attribution ===
These parameters for for {{em|displaying}} attribution information below the quote; this should not be confused with a citing a source {{crossref|(see {{section link||Reference citations}}, below)}}. These parameters are entirely optional, and are usually used with famous quotations, not routine block quotations, which are usually sourced at the end of the introductory line immediately before the quotation, with a normal {{tag|ref}} tag.

{{para|author}} a.k.a. {{para|2}}—Optional Author/speaker attribution information that will appear below the quotation, and preceded with an attribution dash. 

{{para|title}} a.k.a. {{para|3}}—Optional title of the work the quote appears in, to display below the quotation. This parameter immediately follows the output of {{para|author}} (and an auto-generated comma), if one is provided. It does not auto-italicize.

{{para|source}} a.k.a. {{para|4}}—Optionally used for additional source information to display, after {{para|title}}, like so: {{para|title|"The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels"}}{{para|source|{{code|2=moin|''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering'', 2016}}}}; a comma will be auto-generated between the two parameters.  If {{para|source}} is used without {{para|title}}, it simply acts as {{para|title}}. &lt;small&gt;(This parameter was added primarily to ease conversion from misuse of the [[w:pull quote|pull quote]] template {{tlx|Quote frame}} for block quotation, but it may aid in cleaner meta-data implementation later.)&lt;/small&gt;

{{para|character}} a.k.a. {{para|char}}—to attribute fictional speech to a fictional character, {{em|with}} other citation information. Can also be used to attribute real speech to a specific speaker among many, e.g. in a roundtable/panel transcript, a band interview, etc.  This parameter outputs "[{{Var|Character's name}}], in" after the attribution dash and before the output of the parameters above, thus one or more of those parameters must also be supplied. If you need to cite a fictional speaker in an article about a single work of fiction, where repeating the author and title information would be redundant, you can just use the {{para|author}} parameter instead of {{para|character}}.

Technically, all citation information can be given in a single parameter, as in:
:{{para|source|Anonymous interview subject, in Jane G. Arthur, "The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels", ''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering''(2016), Bram Xander Yojimbo (ed.)}}
But this is a bit messy, and will impede later efforts to generate metadata from quotation attribution the way we are already doing with source citations. This is much more usable:
:{{para|character|Anonymous interview subject}}
:{{para|author|Jane G. Arthur}}
:{{para|title|"The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels"}}
:{{para|source|{{code|2=moin|''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering'' (2016), Bram Xander Yojimbo (ed.)}}}}
Later development can assign a CSS &lt;code&gt;class&lt;/code&gt; and so forth to these separate parameters, upon which scripts would be able to operate (e.g. to look up things in WikiQuote).

===Rarely used technical parameters===
{{para|multiline}}—some of the issues with the formatting of quotes with line breaks can be fixed by using {{para|multiline|y}} (see [[#Line breaks|the line breaks section]] for other options).

{{para|style}}—allows specifying additional [[Help:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] styles (''not'' classes) to apply to the {{tag|blockquote}} element. {{Crossref|(See [[#Nested quotations]], below, for the most common use case.)}}

===Parameter list===
&lt;pre&gt;
{{Quote
| quote     =
| author    =
| title     =
| source    =
| character =
| multiline =
| style     =
}}
&lt;/pre&gt;

==Reference citations==
{{anchor|Attribution|reason=Old section name}}
A [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources|reference citation]] can be placed before the quote, after the quote, or in the &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameter:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Typical use''': In the regular-prose introduction to the quotation, when a quotation is given without the displayed &lt;code&gt;author&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameters:&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;According to Pat Doe, in "Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015):&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt; {{quote |text=Quoted material.}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At the end of the quotation, when a quotation is given without the displayed &lt;code&gt;author&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameters, and placement before the quote isn't appropriate (e.g. because the material immediately before the quote isn't cited to the same source or introduces multiple quotes from different sources:&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;Pat Doe and Chris Foo took opposing positions: {{quote |text=Doe's Quoted material.&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}} {{quote |text=Foo's Quoted material.&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After the &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; value (if a value is given for the &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameter other than the {{tag|ref}} itself):&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;One expert noted in 2015: {{quote |text=Quoted material. |author=Pat Doe |source="Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015)&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;{{strongbad|Deprecated}}: &lt;s&gt;After the quoted person's name in &lt;code&gt;author&lt;/code&gt;, or after the work's title in &lt;code&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;, when a &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameter is not being added:&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;As noted in "Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015): {{quote |text=Quoted material. |author=Pat Doe&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid that format, as it will pollute the author or title metadata with non-author or non-title information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Please do not place the citation in a {{para|author}} or {{para|source}} parameter by itself, as it will produce a nonsensical attribution line that looks like:&lt;br /&gt;{{in5}}—&amp;#8239;{{fake ref}}&lt;br /&gt;Please also do not put it just outside the {{tnull|Quote}} template, as this will cause a:&lt;br /&gt;{{in5}}{{fake ref}}&lt;br /&gt;on a line by itself.

== Style ==
Styling is applied through CSS rules in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]].
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=css&gt;
/* Styling for Template:Quote */
blockquote.templatequote {
     margin-top: 0;
}
blockquote.templatequote div.templatequotecite {
    line-height: 1.5em;
    /* @noflip */
    text-align: left;
    /* @noflip */
    padding-left: 1.6em;
    margin-top: 0;
}
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
HTML:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=html&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="templatequote"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quote text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="templatequotecite"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;—Author, Source&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

== Examples ==

{{markupv
|markup=&lt;source lang="moin"&gt;{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|character=Mark Antony|author=[[William Shakespeare]]|title=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]''|source=act III, scene I}}&lt;/source&gt;
|renders=
{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|character=Mark Antony|author=[[William Shakespeare]]|title=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]''|source=act III, scene I}}
}}

== Limitations ==
{{anchor|Restrictions|reason=Old section name}}
If you do not provide text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.

If any parameter's actual value contains an equals sign (&lt;code&gt;=&lt;/code&gt;), you '''must''' use a named parameter (e.g. {{para|text|"E=MC&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;" is a formula everyone knows but few understand}}, not a blank-name positional parameter. The text before the equals sign gets misinterpreted as a named parameter otherwise. Be wary of URLs, which frequently contain this character.  Named parameters are always safer, in this an other templates.

If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as pipe, brackets, single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See [[Template:!]] and friends.

=== Next to right-floated boxes ===
{{As of|2015|09}}, the text of a block quotation may rarely overflow (in Firefox or other Gecko browsers) a right-floated item (e.g. a {{tlx|Listen}} box, when that item is below another right-floated item of a fixed size that is narrower. In Safari and other Webkit browsers (and even more rarely in Chrome/Chromium) the same condition can cause the block quotation to be pushed downward.  Both of these problems can be fixed by either:
# removing the sizing on the upper item and letting it use its default size (e.g. removing &lt;code&gt;{{var|###}}x{{var|###}}px&lt;/code&gt; sizing or {{para|upright}} from a right-floated image above a wider right-floated object that is being overflowed by quotation text; or
# using {{para|style|overflow:inherit;}} in the quotation template.
There may be other solutions, and future browser upgrades may eliminate the issue. It arises at all because of the &lt;code&gt;blockquote { overflow: hidden; }&lt;/code&gt; CSS declaration in [[Mediawiki:Common.css]], which itself works around other, more common display problems. A solution that fixes {{em|all}} of the issues is unknown at this time.

=== Vanishing quotes ===
In rare layout cases, e.g. when quotes are sandwiched between userboxes, a quotation may appear blanked out, in some browsers. The workaround for this problem is to add {{para|style|overflow:inherit;}} to such an instance of the template.

=== Line breaks ===
{{Blockquote paragraphs}}

This template sets a text style which might ignore one blank line, and so the template must be ended with a break (newline) or the next blank line might be ignored. Otherwise, beware inline, as:
::* text here &lt;nowiki&gt;{{quote|this is quoted}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; More text here
spans a blank line, unless a &lt;nowiki&gt;{{quote|...}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; is ended with a line break, then the next blank line might be ignored and two paragraphs joined.

=== Nested quotations ===
The {{tag|blockquote}} element has styles that change the font size: on desktop, text is smaller; on mobile, it is larger. This change is relative to the enclosing context, meaning that if you quote from a source that itself uses a block quotation, you'll find that the inner quotation is either really tiny and hard to read, or really large and barely fits on the screen. Additionally, you'll get an extra pair of decorative, oversize quotation marks. To fix both these issues, add the parameter &lt;code&gt;|style=font-size:inherit;quotes:none;&lt;/code&gt; on any inner {{tl|quote}} templates.

=== Technical issues with block templates ===
{{Block bug documentation}}

== Errors ==
Pages where this template is not used correctly populate [[:Category:Pages incorrectly using the quote template]]. The category tracks tranclusions of [[:Template:Quote]] that have no text given for quotation or use an equals sign in the argument of an unnamed parameter. It also tracks usage of {{para|class}}, {{para|id}}, {{para|diff}}, {{para|4}}, or {{para|5}}.

This module is intended to provide access to basic string functions.

Most of the functions provided here can be invoked with named parameters,
unnamed parameters, or a mixture.  If named parameters are used, Mediawiki will
automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter.
Depending on the intended use, it may be advantageous to either preserve or
remove such whitespace.

Global options
    ignore_errors: If set to 'true' or 1, any error condition will result in
        an empty string being returned rather than an error message.

    error_category: If an error occurs, specifies the name of a category to
        include with the error message.  The default category is
        [Category:Errors reported by Module String].

    no_category: If set to 'true' or 1, no category will be added if an error
        is generated.

Unit tests for this module are available at Module:String/tests.

len

This function returns the length of the target string.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|len|target_string|}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|len|s=target_string}}

Parameters
    s: The string whose length to report

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the target string.
]]
function str.len( frame )
	local new_args = str._getParameters( frame.args, {'s'} )
	local s = new_args['s'] or ''
	return mw.ustring.len( s )
end

--[[
sub

This function returns a substring of the target string at specified indices.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|sub|target_string|start_index|end_index}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|sub|s=target_string|i=start_index|j=end_index}}

Parameters
    s: The string to return a subset of
    i: The fist index of the substring to return, defaults to 1.
    j: The last index of the string to return, defaults to the last character.

The first character of the string is assigned an index of 1.  If either i or j
is a negative value, it is interpreted the same as selecting a character by
counting from the end of the string.  Hence, a value of -1 is the same as
selecting the last character of the string.

If the requested indices are out of range for the given string, an error is
reported.

_match

This function returns a substring from the source string that matches a
specified pattern. It is exported for use in other modules

Usage:
strmatch = require("Module:String")._match
sresult = strmatch( s, pattern, start, match, plain, nomatch )

Parameters
    s: The string to search
    pattern: The pattern or string to find within the string
    start: The index within the source string to start the search.  The first
        character of the string has index 1.  Defaults to 1.
    match: In some cases it may be possible to make multiple matches on a single
        string.  This specifies which match to return, where the first match is
        match= 1.  If a negative number is specified then a match is returned
        counting from the last match.  Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting
        the last match.  Defaults to 1.
    plain: A flag indicating that the pattern should be understood as plain
        text.  Defaults to false.
    nomatch: If no match is found, output the "nomatch" value rather than an error.

match

This function returns a substring from the source string that matches a
specified pattern.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|match|source_string|pattern_string|start_index|match_number|plain_flag|nomatch_output}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|match|s=source_string|pattern=pattern_string|start=start_index
    |match=match_number|plain=plain_flag|nomatch=nomatch_output}}

Parameters
    s: The string to search
    pattern: The pattern or string to find within the string
    start: The index within the source string to start the search.  The first
        character of the string has index 1.  Defaults to 1.
    match: In some cases it may be possible to make multiple matches on a single
        string.  This specifies which match to return, where the first match is
        match= 1.  If a negative number is specified then a match is returned
        counting from the last match.  Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting
        the last match.  Defaults to 1.
    plain: A flag indicating that the pattern should be understood as plain
        text.  Defaults to false.
    nomatch: If no match is found, output the "nomatch" value rather than an error.

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from each string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

If the match_number or start_index are out of range for the string being queried, then
this function generates an error.  An error is also generated if no match is found.
If one adds the parameter ignore_errors=true, then the error will be suppressed and
an empty string will be returned on any failure.

pos

This function returns a single character from the target string at position pos.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|pos|target_string|index_value}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|pos|target=target_string|pos=index_value}}

Parameters
    target: The string to search
    pos: The index for the character to return

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the target string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

The first character has an index value of 1.

If one requests a negative value, this function will select a character by counting backwards
from the end of the string.  In other words pos = -1 is the same as asking for the last character.

A requested value of zero, or a value greater than the length of the string returns an error.

str_find

This function duplicates the behavior of {{str_find}}, including all of its quirks.
This is provided in order to support existing templates, but is NOT RECOMMENDED for
new code and templates.  New code is recommended to use the "find" function instead.

Returns the first index in "source" that is a match to "target".  Indexing is 1-based,
and the function returns -1 if the "target" string is not present in "source".

Important Note: If the "target" string is empty / missing, this function returns a
value of "1", which is generally unexpected behavior, and must be accounted for
separatetly.

{{#invoke:String|find|source_str|target_string|start_index|plain_flag}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|find|source=source_str|target=target_str|start=start_index|plain=plain_flag}}

Parameters
    source: The string to search
    target: The string or pattern to find within source
    start: The index within the source string to start the search, defaults to 1
    plain: Boolean flag indicating that target should be understood as plain
        text and not as a Lua style regular expression, defaults to true

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the parameter.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

This function returns the first index &gt;= "start" where "target" can be found
within "source".  Indices are 1-based.  If "target" is not found, then this
function returns 0.  If either "source" or "target" are missing / empty, this
function also returns 0.

This function should be safe for UTF-8 strings.

Welcome to '''{{SITENAME}}''', the comprehensive wiki about the world of Terracil, by the OfficialTerracil (OfficialTRC) creator. Want to know more about [[x]], [[y]], [[z]], and everything else Terracil? You've come to the right place! We have [[special: statistics|{{int: article count}}]] articles and we're expanding frequently!

Discovering this for the first time? Did you know that almost all of OfficialTRC's adult fantasy works all take place in the same universe? It's true! They are all set on a planet named [[Terracil]], sharing the same creation story and myths, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the world, check out:

&lt;div class="terracil-overview"&gt;
*[[Terracil]]
*Geography and Climate
*Flora and Fauna
*[[Species]]
*[[Magic]]
*[[The Old Gods]]

'''Scadrial''' is a planet of the [[Cosmere]] and is the setting of the [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn series]]. It contains several other planets in its system. Scadrial has no moon, but there is an [[Starbelt|extremely bright patch of stars visible in the night sky]].{{wob ref|6089}} People from Scadrial are called Scadrians.{{wob ref|1075}}

== Geography &amp; Ecology ==
=== Classical Scadrial ===
Before the Lord Ruler took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]], Scadrial was extremely Earth-like. It had a blue sky, clouds, a yellow sun, flowers, green plants, and animals such as horses.

Classical Scadrial technology was at an early industrial era.{{wob ref|1222}}

|From the adaptations (both forced and unforced) of the humans living on her, to the vast transformations of landscape during her different eras, Scadrial remains my favorite planet for scholarly study in the cosmere. The interactions of her magics with natural physics are multitude, varied, and fascinating.
|From [[Khriss]]'s essay on the [[Scadrian system]]{{au ref|scadrian}}
}}
'''Scadrial''' is a planet of the [[Cosmere]] and is the setting of the [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn series]]. It contains several other planets in its system. Scadrial has no moon, but there is an [[Starbelt|extremely bright patch of stars visible in the night sky]].{{wob ref|6089}} People from Scadrial are called Scadrians.{{wob ref|1075}}

== Geography &amp; Ecology ==
=== Classical Scadrial ===
Before the Lord Ruler took the power at the [[Well of Ascension]], Scadrial was extremely Earth-like. It had a blue sky, clouds, a yellow sun, flowers, green plants, and animals such as horses.

Classical Scadrial technology was at an early industrial era.{{wob ref|1222}}

Welcome to '''{{SITENAME}}''', the comprehensive wiki about the world of Terracil, by the OfficialTerracil (OfficialTRC) creator. Want to know more about [[x]], [[y]], [[z]], and everything else Terracil? You've come to the right place! We have [[special: statistics|{{int: article count}}]] articles and we're expanding frequently!

Discovering this for the first time? Did you know that almost all of OfficialTRC's adult fantasy works all take place in the same universe? It's true! They are all set on a planet named [[Terracil]], sharing the same creation story and myths, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the world, check out:

Outputs the first argument in several columns, 3 by default or the value you assign to count. Especially useful for long lists.

== Usage Examples ==

&lt;pre&gt;
{{columns|
content...
}}

{{columns|count=x|
content...
}}
&lt;/pre&gt;

For example this code:
&lt;pre&gt;
{{columns|
* bla
* bla 
* bla
* bla 
* bla
* bla 
}}
&lt;/pre&gt;

Will generate the following result:
{{columns|
* bla
* bla 
* bla
* bla 
* bla
* bla 
}}

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits [[TRC0]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

    <text bytes="3780" xml:space="preserve">TRC0 is the designation given to the main sequence star in the centre of the Terrac star system. Known as the Sun, TRC0 is a main sequence star with a spectral type of F6v, and formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets and an asteroid belt, and the planets designation TRCI belongs to the main habitable planet Terracil, while the other designations TRCII through to TRCXII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.

The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the Itzatecah calendar still in use today.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. A main sequence star with a spectral type of F6v, the Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets and an asteroid belt, and the planets designation TRCI belongs to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]], while the other designations TRCII through to TRCXII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.

The enormous effect of the Sun on [[Terracil]] has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of [[Terracil]] and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

### Description
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche, hunting fish, insects, eggs, as well as roots, tubers, nuts, and seeds. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

#### Sexual dimorphism

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will have them thinner, with two large areas where the males do not. A large thick patch exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as very thick patches of scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needlelike claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life. 

#### Lifestyle

Melinorati live in bands, approximately 26 adults strong, which occupy an area within a larger zone that is controlled by their tribe, which can have many constituent tribes, usually around 20.

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.


### History


### Cultures
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

    <text bytes="7716" xml:space="preserve">Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably curious jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche, hunting fish, insects, eggs, as well as roots, tubers, nuts, and seeds. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will have them thinner, with two large areas where the males do not. A large thick patch exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as very thick patches of scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needlelike claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life. 

=== Lifestyle ===

Melinorati live in bands, approximately 26 adults strong, which occupy an area within a larger zone that is controlled by their tribe, which can have many constituent tribes, usually around 20.

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years.

Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips so that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe.

Welcome to '''{{SITENAME}}''', the comprehensive wiki about the world of Terracil, by the OfficialTerracil (OfficialTRC) creator. Want to know more about [[xxx]], [[yyy]], [[zzz]], and everything else Terracil? You've come to the right place! We have [[special: statistics|{{int: article count}}]] articles and we're expanding frequently!

Discovering this for the first time? Did you know that almost all of OfficialTRC's adult fantasy works all take place in the same universe? It's true! They are all set on a planet named [[Terracil]], sharing the same creation story and myths, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the world, check out:

    <text bytes="2671" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race.

== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

    <text bytes="8394" xml:space="preserve">Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

* Cheirosiphon - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati Clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone.

Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

    <text bytes="13480" xml:space="preserve">Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane.

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower, can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

    <text bytes="4130" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

    <text bytes="6083" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

    <text bytes="6003" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.[8]

Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-
| 375 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

    <text bytes="13888" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-
| 375 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| 313 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega.

| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

Earliest development of the brain, and of bilateral symmetry. Archaic representatives of this stage are flatworms, the simplest animals with organs that form from three germ layers.

Deuterostomes, last common ancestor of the chordate [human] lineage, the Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) and Hemichordata (acorn worms and graptolites).
An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods.

It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

    <text bytes="19221" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

    <text bytes="21378" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

Earliest development of the brain, and of bilateral symmetry. Archaic representatives of this stage are flatworms, the simplest animals with organs that form from three germ layers.

Deuterostomes, last common ancestor of the chordate [human] lineage, the Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) and Hemichordata (acorn worms and graptolites).
An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precondition for vocalized speech in humans.

| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="21682" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

Earliest development of the brain, and of bilateral symmetry. Archaic representatives of this stage are flatworms, the simplest animals with organs that form from three germ layers.

Deuterostomes, last common ancestor of the chordate [human] lineage, the Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) and Hemichordata (acorn worms and graptolites).
An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

===Tetrapoda===

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Recent genome sequencing of the platypus indicates that its sex genes are closer to those of birds than to those of the therian (live birthing) mammals. Comparing this to other mammals, it can be inferred that the first mammals to gain sexual differentiation through the existence or lack of SRY gene (found in the y-Chromosome) evolved after the monotreme lineage split off.

| style="text-align:left;" | First euarchonta. A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="21686" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

Earliest development of the brain, and of bilateral symmetry. Archaic representatives of this stage are flatworms, the simplest animals with organs that form from three germ layers.

Deuterostomes, last common ancestor of the chordate [human] lineage, the Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) and Hemichordata (acorn worms and graptolites).
An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).
|-

A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

===Tetrapoda===

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:right; background-color:#f8f9fa;"

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-
| 375 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Recent genome sequencing of the platypus indicates that its sex genes are closer to those of birds than to those of the therian (live birthing) mammals. Comparing this to other mammals, it can be inferred that the first mammals to gain sexual differentiation through the existence or lack of SRY gene (found in the y-Chromosome) evolved after the monotreme lineage split off.

| 86 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.9.13.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First euarchonta. A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It had the special adaptations for tree climbing as do present-day humans and other great apes: a wide, flat rib cage, a stiff lower spine, flexible wrists, and shoulder blades that lie along its back.

Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precondition for vocalized speech in humans. Speciation may have begun shortly after 10 Ma, but late admixture between the lineages may have taken place until after 5 Ma.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="21969" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

Earliest development of the brain, and of bilateral symmetry. Archaic representatives of this stage are flatworms, the simplest animals with organs that form from three germ layers.

Deuterostomes, last common ancestor of the chordate [human] lineage, the Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) and Hemichordata (acorn worms and graptolites).
An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:left;" | Most basic notochord evolves, paving the way for chordates to emerge. Pikaia is an iconic ancestor of modern chordates and vertebrates. The lancelet, still living today, retains some characteristics of the primitive chordates. It resembles Pikaia. 
|-
| 511 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | The first vertebrates appear: the ostracoderms, jawless fish related to present-day lampreys and hagfishes. Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.3.10.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | The Placodermi were prehistoric fishes. Placoderms were some of the first jawed fishes (Gnathostomata), their jaws evolving from the first gill arch. A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.12.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | The first coelacanth appears (in the fossil record to date); this order of animals was thought to be extinct until living specimens were discovered recently. It is often referred to as a living fossil.

===Tetrapoda===

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:right; background-color:#f8f9fa;"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center; background-color:#eaecf0; width: 65%;"

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-
| 375 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| 313 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.7.10.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | One subgroup of therapsids, the cynodonts, evolved more mammal-like characteristics. The jaws of cynodonts resemble modern mammal jaws. This group of animals likely contains a species which is the ancestor of all modern mammals. 

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Recent genome sequencing of the platypus indicates that its sex genes are closer to those of birds than to those of the therian (live birthing) mammals. Comparing this to other mammals, it can be inferred that the first mammals to gain sexual differentiation through the existence or lack of SRY gene (found in the y-Chromosome) evolved after the monotreme lineage split off.

|-
| 86 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.9.13.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First euarchonta. A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes. 
|-

|-
| 63 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.9.19.19.19.19.19.19.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First primates emerge. Primates diverge into suborders Strepsirrhini (wet-nosed primates) and Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates). Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

Pierolapithecus catalaunicus is thought to be a common ancestor of humans and the other great apes, or at least a species that brings us closer to a common ancestor than any previous fossil discovery. It had the special adaptations for tree climbing as do present-day humans and other great apes: a wide, flat rib cage, a stiff lower spine, flexible wrists, and shoulder blades that lie along its back.

Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precondition for vocalized speech in humans. Speciation may have begun shortly after 10 Ma, but late admixture between the lineages may have taken place until after 5 Ma.

| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="22279" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="22298" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="25730" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="22298" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="22279" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="22260" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

| style="text-align:left;" | One subgroup of therapsids, the cynodonts, evolved more mammal-like characteristics. The jaws of cynodonts resemble modern mammal jaws. This group of animals likely contains a species which is the ancestor of all modern mammals. 

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Recent genome sequencing of the platypus indicates that its sex genes are closer to those of birds than to those of the therian (live birthing) mammals. Comparing this to other mammals, it can be inferred that the first mammals to gain sexual differentiation through the existence or lack of SRY gene (found in the y-Chromosome) evolved after the monotreme lineage split off.

|-
| 86 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.9.13.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First euarchonta. A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

| style="text-align:left;" | First primates emerge. Primates diverge into suborders Strepsirrhini (wet-nosed primates) and Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates). Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

Pierolapithecus catalaunicus is thought to be a common ancestor of humans and the other great apes, or at least a species that brings us closer to a common ancestor than any previous fossil discovery. It had the special adaptations for tree climbing as do present-day humans and other great apes: a wide, flat rib cage, a stiff lower spine, flexible wrists, and shoulder blades that lie along its back.

| style="text-align:left;" | Hominini: The latest common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is estimated to have lived between roughly 10 to 5 million years ago. Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precondition for vocalized speech in humans. Speciation may have begun shortly after 10 Ma, but late admixture between the lineages may have taken place until after 5 Ma.

|-
| 4.16 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.10.18.14.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species on Terracil. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated.

== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

== History ==
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumenthropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no problem.

The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.


== History ==
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumenthropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no problem.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

=== Subspecies ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumenthropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumenthropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.


== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

    <text bytes="20803" xml:space="preserve">Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

[[File:Melinorati 1.png|500px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left). These individuals belong to the ''paralitori''-type, as judged by their greyer skin tone and less elaborate toughscale patches.]]

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.


* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

    <text bytes="20799" xml:space="preserve">Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumenthropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.


== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season.

Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

    <text bytes="20857" xml:space="preserve">Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

[[File:Melinorati 1.png|500px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left). These individuals belong to the ''paralitori''-type, as judged by their greyer skin tone and less elaborate toughscale patches.]]

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=yyy|xxx]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===


Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.


== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically.

Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

Each mother will release a number of egg cells, and can lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the stages of the oviduct that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components including the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. Shortly before birth towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland strengthens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery soft shell. The egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland.
All the pregnant mothers will lay these eggs together, their cycles aligning based on the most optimal temperature plus other factors during a ~26 day window after the first 260 days. This will usually fall during a fertile season, and the laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

Once laid, the eggs require warmth to finish the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.
A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.


== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===


Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===


Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistorical times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 26 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

==== Reproduction ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

The eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 
They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in sprint and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons.

A community will care for all children raised until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24, xxx
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

==== Birth &amp; Growth ====
The eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Subspecies ===


Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

==== Reproduction ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Pregnancy ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving.

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

==== Reproduction ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Pregnancy ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

==== Birth &amp; Growth ====
The eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

==== Reproduction ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Pregnancy ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

==== Birth &amp; Growth ====
The eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons.

During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

==== Reproduction ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Pregnancy ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

==== Birth &amp; Growth ====
The eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===

In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 


==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 


==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.


== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge shortbows in range, though bows as a whole out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrswords. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same^?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are coiled to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blades are crackling, hissing, ethereal curved blades of shaped lightning, crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic during the first Dwarf War, for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The swords are near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air particles apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, beginning a spiral emphasised by the blue and green spiral trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether. Common folk often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling is Ythir. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. 

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.</text>

All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. 

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.</text>

As a result a whole cavalcade of genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.

There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.</text>

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

== Origins ==
The phenomenon originates from the use of ethyr by organisms with the rate mutations that allow for the accessing and usage of ethyr. The source of the ethyr in these cases is usually ascribed to [[light-ethyr]], due to it being the most common in terms of ethyr availability as well as the mutations that allow for accessing it.</text>

The source of the ethyr in these cases is usually ascribed to [[light-ethyr]], due to it being the most common in terms of ethyr availability as well as the mutations that allow for accessing it.

As ethyr's usage can vary from incredibly complicated spellcraft that requires fine knowledge of the inner mechanisms of the universe, to simple animalistic intent-driven surges of power, these latter uses can be performed instinctively by animals. In the classic case of the phenomenon, a frog acquires some ethyr. Then, not knowing what it is doing, the frog makes the intention to jump. Perhaps this is a panicked jump to avoid a predator, or it wishes to jump much further than usual. Either way, the ethyr responds to this intent and when the unfortunate frog makes the jump, the ethyr is used to empower the frog's body to jump magnitudes harder than it ever could. Sadly, this exertion causes the frog's nervous system to burn itself out, resulting in a frog comet searing across the landscape and landing far from where it started, but as a dried husk of a frog.</text>

    <text bytes="1757" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races. 

__TOC__

== Light-Ethyr Colours ==
The varieties of light-ethyr are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

    <text bytes="4205" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races. 

__TOC__

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of light-ethyr are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. Wyrd has the strongest correlation with a colour, as using wyrd flavoured wyrd-ethyr often causes a physical glow visible to individuals without magesight that can range from neon green to electruc blues, which has been dubbed Cherenkov radiation. This averages out to a turquoise ethyr. The other flavours often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is shown below as black, and vacuum-flavour shown as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to amethyst haze, to black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

    <text bytes="5558" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.</text>

== Source ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr, as electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is magnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores.

However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

    <text bytes="3897" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[ethyric field]] due to the electromagnetic force is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all interactions of electromagnetism perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr, as electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is magnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

 electricity and magnetism in harmony

 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

Use this template when you have a ''similar'' topic that should be prominently linked to another article, either for more information or to avoid confusion between similarly-named articles.

It generally takes one unnamed parameter, &lt;code&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/code&gt;, as input. By default, it returns "For more information, see &lt;code&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/code&gt;", where &lt;code&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/code&gt; is a link to the referenced article. A second unnamed parameter will replace "more information" and a third will replace the text which refers to the linked article. For example, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{for|cosmere|oodles of information|this page about the cosmere}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; produces:
: {{for|cosmere|oodles of information|this page about the cosmere}}

The template is intended to be brief, but additional optional parameters &lt;code&gt;|pre=&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;|post=&lt;/code&gt; allow you to add additional explanatory text at the beginning or end of the displayed text, if necessary. For example, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{for|Wulfden the First|the first Wyrn named Wulfden|pre='Wulfden' redirects here}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; produces:
: {{for|Wulfden the First|the first Wyrn named Wulfden|pre='Wulfden' redirects here}}

The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of light-ethyr are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. Wyrd has the strongest correlation with a colour, as using wyrd flavoured wyrd-ethyr often causes a physical glow visible to individuals without magesight that can range from neon green to electruc blues, which has been dubbed Cherenkov radiation. This averages out to a turquoise ethyr. The other flavours often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is shown below as black, and vacuum-flavour shown as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to amethyst haze, to black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

=== Gravity-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

    <text bytes="5623" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races.

    <text bytes="4102" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[ethyric field]] due to the electromagnetic force is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all interactions of electromagnetism perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr, as electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is magnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

 electricity and magnetism in harmony

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

    <text bytes="4158" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[ethyric field]] due to the electromagnetic force is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all interactions of electromagnetism perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr, as electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is magnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

===== Water =====
 Phase changes

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

    <text bytes="5569" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to the first drawback of using ethyr - a user must use as much of their own body's energy as ethyr to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

__TOC__

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of light-ethyr are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. Wyrd has the strongest correlation with a colour, as using wyrd flavoured wyrd-ethyr often causes a physical glow visible to individuals without magesight that can range from neon green to electruc blues, which has been dubbed Cherenkov radiation. This averages out to a turquoise ethyr. The other flavours often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is shown below as black, and vacuum-flavour shown as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to amethyst haze, to black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. Wyrd has the strongest correlation with a colour, as using wyrd flavoured wyrd-ethyr often causes a physical glow visible to individuals without magesight that can range from neon green to electruc blues, which has been dubbed Cherenkov radiation. This averages out to a turquoise ethyr. The other flavours often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is shown below as black, and vacuum-flavour shown as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to amethyst haze, to black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

    <text bytes="5824" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races.

__TOC__

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. A main sequence star with a spectral type of F6v, the Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets and an asteroid belt, and the planets designation TRCI belongs to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]], while the other designations TRCII through to TRCXII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.

The enormous effect of the Sun on [[Terracil]] has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of [[Terracil]] and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. A main sequence star with a spectral type of F6v, the Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets and an asteroid belt, and the planets designation TRCI belongs to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]], while the other designations TRCII through to TRCXII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.

The enormous effect of the Sun on [[Terracil]] has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of [[Terracil]] and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRCII, etc}}

==== Inferior Planets ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

[[Terracil]] orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== Superior Planets ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

===== Frost Line =====
TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.</text>

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is by far its most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRCI (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRCII through to TRCXII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.

The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
=== Inner Planets ===
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, TRC IV, TRC V}}

==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== TRC IV ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.</text>

    <text bytes="4283" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

    <text bytes="5340" xml:space="preserve">'''Elfweave''' is a strong silk-like textile made from synthetic fibres. Rare and expensive, it can only be made in certain [[Sicai]] [[Crafttown|crafttowns]] on the coast. These fibres have a variety of applications from strings that can sustain high tension or be made into sturdy ropes, to weaved textiles such as silken clothing for high nobility or exceptionally durable padded arming doublets. 

__TOC__

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
Elfweave was discovered by sicai [[myaner]] circa xxx in a fishing village built around a crafttown. The exact circumstances of the discovery are not known, but what can be gleaned from the limited sources available suggests highly skilled craftsmen were involved in an experiment including crab shells and a particular variety of brown kelp. 

Modern manufacture of elfweave involves using advanced grinding techniques to turn purified and treated crab shell into the finest of powders. A type of gum is extracted from the kelp after multiple steps, and once mixed with water, the crab shell powder is added. The resultant mixture displays intriguing properties, as it can be pulled out and spun into yarn, and in the hands of incredibly skilled weavers, can be made into a fine silk-like thread. This can then be set in a saltwater bath which solidifies the string and gives it great strength. Though the ingredients are cheap, the process is labour intensive to produce the yarn, and the necessity of a crafttown's resources and a highly skilled weaver means the silk threads are incredibly expensive.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

== Uses of Elfweave ==
The spun fibres have many applications. The rough grade yarn can be made into tough ropes or heavy duty netting or fishing lines, as benefits the coastal community where such goods can be made. The medium fine grades also weave well into ropes, whereas the finer grades have more varied uses. Due to the expense, the silk-like fibres have become a status symbol in fashion, being used to form a variety of sheer skin-tight clothing from silken elfweave as well as varieties of water-resistant clothing. When the fibres are woven into a fabric, it is known as elfweave.

The strength of elfweave was noted and compared to that of spider-silk. When combined with spider-silk, elfweave fibres can be made into lightweight and incredible durable basketweave cloth that can be layered many times without adding too much thickness. A gambeson made from this variety of elfweave can be almost a third as thick and many times more protective, even imparting resistance to piercing weapons. 

=== Elfweave Gambesons ===
Due to the importance of such highly defensive materials, many Master Warriors make deals with sicai crafttowns to buy elfweave gambesons. These military-grade gambesons are manufactures specially to conform to the varying demands of the Master Warriors and the needs. Gambesons can be purchased to look like stylish uniforms, so that a commander can look the part while not miss out on protective armour, and to avoid the bulky feel of normal linen ones. Such suits are often dyed to match house colours or Warrior ranks or designations. Alternatively, elfweave arming doublets stretch from hood to heel and come with inbuilt straps to fit the varying parts of platemaille to. Such under armour weaves can vary wildly in colour as per the purchaser's specifications.

The most famous, however, is certainly the arming doublets specifically designed to fit with [[Ethyrmaille|ethyrmaille]]. These are thick, usually dyed black to avoid detracting from the spectacle that is a suit of ethyrmaille, and cover the myaner from the hood to the toes. As such these must tailored for specific individuals and have to be woven with care to ensure a perfect fit. Reinforced with elastic rubber fibres to form into a stretchy material, an opening in the chest allows the myaner to step into the legs, pull the arms and head over, before finally tying the opening closed. The arms end in gloves that can be partly detached if needed, hanging from the wrist. 

Further padding is usually added to regions such as the chest or head that require more protection from percussive blows. Every surface of the doublet is covered in attachment points for ethyrmaille, from the arms and legs to even special glove straps to attach the individually shaped plates for the joints of the fingers. The glove means a wearer is practically immune to the dangers of half-swording as the slash-resistant nature of elfweave prevents the hands from being cut even when grappling with the sharp end of a sword. If the ethyrmaille cannot cover a part of the body, such as the armpit or groin, chainmaille could be woven into the doublet in these locations as a layer or hung on to act as a skirt. 

This makes every elfweave gambeson a unique piece of exquisite craftsmanship, from the shape suited to an individual's form, unique arrangements of extra padding and armour, and colours dyed into the weave. All in all this makes anyone who wears it not only a remarkable sight, but very hard to kill.</text>

__TOC__

== Heading text ==
 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens of even hundreds.</text>

    <text bytes="2809" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday.

{{quote|text|Author}}

 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens of even hundreds.</text>

    <text bytes="5622" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

To embed a template in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing noinclude – as in &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;|1=&amp;lt;nowiki /&amp;gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; – then every &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;|&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; character in the template markup must be escaped with {{tlx|!}}. An alternative is to use explicit HTML {{tag|table|o}}, {{tag|tr|o}}, {{tag|th|o}}, and {{tag|td|o}} markup.&lt;noinclude&gt;
{{Documentation|content=This is transcluded documentation, which can be transcluded in the /doc pages of various templates like {{tlx|Block indent}} and {{tlx|Quote}}, e.g. under a "Technical issue with block templates" heading or the like.  Right now it takes no parameter other than {{para|1|{{var|foo}}}}, to change the &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; to something else, thus changing the display (and operation) to use something other than {{para|1}} in the shown template operations.

The {{tag|blockquote|o}} element and any templates that use it do not honor newlines:
{{markup
|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;
|&lt;blockquote&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
}}

The simplest workaround for this is to use the {{xtag|poem}} tag inside {{tag|blockquote|o}}, which will convert line breaks to {{tag|br|s}} tags:
{{markup
|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;poem&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/poem&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;
|&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;poem&gt;
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
&lt;/poem&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
}}&lt;noinclude&gt;

To markup actual paragraphs within block quotations, entire blank lines can be used between them, which will convert to {{tag|p}} tags:

{{markup
|&lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;
|&lt;blockquote&gt;
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Paragraph 3
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
}}&lt;noinclude&gt;

== Usage ==
{{tlx|Quote}} adds a [[w:block quotation|block quotation]] to an article page.

This is easier to type and is more wiki-like than the equivalent [[w:HTML|HTML]] {{tag|blockquote}} tags, and has additional pre-formatted attribution parameters for author and source.

{{warning|heading=This template is for actual quotations only.|text=Do not use it for block indentation of other material; see {{tlx|Block indent}} for that purpose.}}

=== Examples ===

;Basic use{{colon}}:
&lt;pre&gt;{{Quote
|text=Quoted material.
}}&lt;/pre&gt;

;With attribution displayed{{colon}}: 
&lt;pre&gt;{{Quote
|text=Quoted material.
|author=First M. Last
}}&lt;/pre&gt;

;With more attribution{{colon}}:
&lt;pre&gt;{{Quote
|text=Quoted material.
|author=First M. Last |title="Article Title"  |source=''Book Title'' (date)
}}&lt;/pre&gt;

== Parameters ==

{{para|text}} a.k.a. {{para|1}}—The material being quoted, without quotation marks around it. It is always safest to name this parameter (rather than use an unnamed positional parameter), because, otherwise, any inclusion of a [[Template:=|non-escaped "=" character]] (e.g., in a URL in a source citation) will break the template.

=== Displayed attribution ===
These parameters for for {{em|displaying}} attribution information below the quote; this should not be confused with a citing a source {{crossref|(see {{section link||Reference citations}}, below)}}. These parameters are entirely optional, and are usually used with famous quotations, not routine block quotations, which are usually sourced at the end of the introductory line immediately before the quotation, with a normal {{tag|ref}} tag.

{{para|author}} a.k.a. {{para|2}}—Optional Author/speaker attribution information that will appear below the quotation, and preceded with an attribution dash. 

{{para|title}} a.k.a. {{para|3}}—Optional title of the work the quote appears in, to display below the quotation. This parameter immediately follows the output of {{para|author}} (and an auto-generated comma), if one is provided. It does not auto-italicize.

{{para|source}} a.k.a. {{para|4}}—Optionally used for additional source information to display, after {{para|title}}, like so: {{para|title|"The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels"}}{{para|source|{{code|2=moin|''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering'', 2016}}}}; a comma will be auto-generated between the two parameters.  If {{para|source}} is used without {{para|title}}, it simply acts as {{para|title}}. &lt;small&gt;(This parameter was added primarily to ease conversion from misuse of the [[w:pull quote|pull quote]] template {{tlx|Quote frame}} for block quotation, but it may aid in cleaner meta-data implementation later.)&lt;/small&gt;

{{para|character}} a.k.a. {{para|char}}—to attribute fictional speech to a fictional character, {{em|with}} other citation information. Can also be used to attribute real speech to a specific speaker among many, e.g. in a roundtable/panel transcript, a band interview, etc.  This parameter outputs "[{{Var|Character's name}}], in" after the attribution dash and before the output of the parameters above, thus one or more of those parameters must also be supplied. If you need to cite a fictional speaker in an article about a single work of fiction, where repeating the author and title information would be redundant, you can just use the {{para|author}} parameter instead of {{para|character}}.

Technically, all citation information can be given in a single parameter, as in:
:{{para|source|Anonymous interview subject, in Jane G. Arthur, "The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels", ''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering''(2016), Bram Xander Yojimbo (ed.)}}
But this is a bit messy, and will impede later efforts to generate metadata from quotation attribution the way we are already doing with source citations. This is much more usable:
:{{para|character|Anonymous interview subject}}
:{{para|author|Jane G. Arthur}}
:{{para|title|"The Aerodynamics of Shaved Weasels"}}
:{{para|source|{{code|2=moin|''Perspectives on Mammal Barbering'' (2016), Bram Xander Yojimbo (ed.)}}}}
Later development can assign a CSS &lt;code&gt;class&lt;/code&gt; and so forth to these separate parameters, upon which scripts would be able to operate (e.g. to look up things in WikiQuote).

===Rarely used technical parameters===
{{para|multiline}}—some of the issues with the formatting of quotes with line breaks can be fixed by using {{para|multiline|y}} (see [[#Line breaks|the line breaks section]] for other options).

{{para|style}}—allows specifying additional [[Help:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] styles (''not'' classes) to apply to the {{tag|blockquote}} element. {{Crossref|(See [[#Nested quotations]], below, for the most common use case.)}}

===Parameter list===
&lt;pre&gt;
{{Quote
| quote     =
| author    =
| title     =
| source    =
| character =
| multiline =
| style     =
}}
&lt;/pre&gt;

==Reference citations==
{{anchor|Attribution|reason=Old section name}}
A [[w:Wikipedia:Citing sources|reference citation]] can be placed before the quote, after the quote, or in the &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameter:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;'''Typical use''': In the regular-prose introduction to the quotation, when a quotation is given without the displayed &lt;code&gt;author&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameters:&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;According to Pat Doe, in "Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015):&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt; {{quote |text=Quoted material.}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At the end of the quotation, when a quotation is given without the displayed &lt;code&gt;author&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameters, and placement before the quote isn't appropriate (e.g. because the material immediately before the quote isn't cited to the same source or introduces multiple quotes from different sources:&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;Pat Doe and Chris Foo took opposing positions: {{quote |text=Doe's Quoted material.&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}} {{quote |text=Foo's Quoted material.&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After the &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; value (if a value is given for the &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameter other than the {{tag|ref}} itself):&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;One expert noted in 2015: {{quote |text=Quoted material. |author=Pat Doe |source="Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015)&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;{{strongbad|Deprecated}}: &lt;s&gt;After the quoted person's name in &lt;code&gt;author&lt;/code&gt;, or after the work's title in &lt;code&gt;title&lt;/code&gt;, when a &lt;code&gt;source&lt;/code&gt; parameter is not being added:&lt;source lang="xml" inline&gt;As noted in "Underwater Basketweaving Tips" (2015): {{quote |text=Quoted material. |author=Pat Doe&lt;ref&gt;...&lt;/ref&gt;}}&lt;/source&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please avoid that format, as it will pollute the author or title metadata with non-author or non-title information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Please do not place the citation in a {{para|author}} or {{para|source}} parameter by itself, as it will produce a nonsensical attribution line that looks like:&lt;br /&gt;{{in5}}—&amp;#8239;{{fake ref}}&lt;br /&gt;Please also do not put it just outside the {{tnull|Quote}} template, as this will cause a:&lt;br /&gt;{{in5}}{{fake ref}}&lt;br /&gt;on a line by itself.

== Style ==
Styling is applied through CSS rules in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]].
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=css&gt;
/* Styling for Template:Quote */
blockquote.templatequote {
     margin-top: 0;
}
blockquote.templatequote div.templatequotecite {
    line-height: 1.5em;
    /* @noflip */
    text-align: left;
    /* @noflip */
    padding-left: 1.6em;
    margin-top: 0;
}
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
HTML:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=html&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="templatequote"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quote text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="templatequotecite"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;—Author, Source&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

== Examples ==

{{markupv
|markup=&lt;source lang="moin"&gt;{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|character=Mark Antony|author=[[William Shakespeare]]|title=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]''|source=act III, scene I}}&lt;/source&gt;
|renders=
{{Quote|text=Cry "Havoc" and let slip the dogs of war.|character=Mark Antony|author=[[William Shakespeare]]|title=''[[Julius Caesar (play)|Julius Caesar]]''|source=act III, scene I}}
}}

== Limitations ==
{{anchor|Restrictions|reason=Old section name}}
If you do not provide text, the template generates a parser error message, which will appear in red text in the rendered page.

If any parameter's actual value contains an equals sign (&lt;code&gt;=&lt;/code&gt;), you '''must''' use a named parameter (e.g. {{para|text|"E=MC&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;" is a formula everyone knows but few understand}}, not a blank-name positional parameter. The text before the equals sign gets misinterpreted as a named parameter otherwise. Be wary of URLs, which frequently contain this character.  Named parameters are always safer, in this an other templates.

If any parameter's actual value contains characters used for wiki markup syntax (such as pipe, brackets, single quotation marks, etc.), you may need to escape it. See [[Template:!]] and friends.

=== Next to right-floated boxes ===
{{As of|2015|09}}, the text of a block quotation may rarely overflow (in Firefox or other Gecko browsers) a right-floated item (e.g. a {{tlx|Listen}} box, when that item is below another right-floated item of a fixed size that is narrower. In Safari and other Webkit browsers (and even more rarely in Chrome/Chromium) the same condition can cause the block quotation to be pushed downward.  Both of these problems can be fixed by either:
# removing the sizing on the upper item and letting it use its default size (e.g. removing &lt;code&gt;{{var|###}}x{{var|###}}px&lt;/code&gt; sizing or {{para|upright}} from a right-floated image above a wider right-floated object that is being overflowed by quotation text; or
# using {{para|style|overflow:inherit;}} in the quotation template.
There may be other solutions, and future browser upgrades may eliminate the issue. It arises at all because of the &lt;code&gt;blockquote { overflow: hidden; }&lt;/code&gt; CSS declaration in [[Mediawiki:Common.css]], which itself works around other, more common display problems. A solution that fixes {{em|all}} of the issues is unknown at this time.

=== Vanishing quotes ===
In rare layout cases, e.g. when quotes are sandwiched between userboxes, a quotation may appear blanked out, in some browsers. The workaround for this problem is to add {{para|style|overflow:inherit;}} to such an instance of the template.

=== Line breaks ===
{{Blockquote paragraphs}}

This template sets a text style which might ignore one blank line, and so the template must be ended with a break (newline) or the next blank line might be ignored. Otherwise, beware inline, as:
::* text here &lt;nowiki&gt;{{quote|this is quoted}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; More text here
spans a blank line, unless a &lt;nowiki&gt;{{quote|...}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; is ended with a line break, then the next blank line might be ignored and two paragraphs joined.

=== Nested quotations ===
The {{tag|blockquote}} element has styles that change the font size: on desktop, text is smaller; on mobile, it is larger. This change is relative to the enclosing context, meaning that if you quote from a source that itself uses a block quotation, you'll find that the inner quotation is either really tiny and hard to read, or really large and barely fits on the screen. Additionally, you'll get an extra pair of decorative, oversize quotation marks. To fix both these issues, add the parameter &lt;code&gt;|style=font-size:inherit;quotes:none;&lt;/code&gt; on any inner {{tl|quote}} templates.

=== Technical issues with block templates ===
{{Block bug documentation}}

== Errors ==
Pages where this template is not used correctly populate [[:Category:Pages incorrectly using the quote template]]. The category tracks tranclusions of [[:Template:Quote]] that have no text given for quotation or use an equals sign in the argument of an unnamed parameter. It also tracks usage of {{para|class}}, {{para|id}}, {{para|diff}}, {{para|4}}, or {{para|5}}.

This module is intended to provide access to basic string functions.

Most of the functions provided here can be invoked with named parameters,
unnamed parameters, or a mixture.  If named parameters are used, Mediawiki will
automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter.
Depending on the intended use, it may be advantageous to either preserve or
remove such whitespace.

Global options
    ignore_errors: If set to 'true' or 1, any error condition will result in
        an empty string being returned rather than an error message.

    error_category: If an error occurs, specifies the name of a category to
        include with the error message.  The default category is
        [Category:Errors reported by Module String].

    no_category: If set to 'true' or 1, no category will be added if an error
        is generated.

Unit tests for this module are available at Module:String/tests.

len

This function returns the length of the target string.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|len|target_string|}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|len|s=target_string}}

Parameters
    s: The string whose length to report

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the target string.

	local s = new_args['s'] or ''
	return mw.ustring.len( s )
end

--[[
sub

This function returns a substring of the target string at specified indices.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|sub|target_string|start_index|end_index}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|sub|s=target_string|i=start_index|j=end_index}}

Parameters
    s: The string to return a subset of
    i: The fist index of the substring to return, defaults to 1.
    j: The last index of the string to return, defaults to the last character.

The first character of the string is assigned an index of 1.  If either i or j
is a negative value, it is interpreted the same as selecting a character by
counting from the end of the string.  Hence, a value of -1 is the same as
selecting the last character of the string.

If the requested indices are out of range for the given string, an error is
reported.

_match

This function returns a substring from the source string that matches a
specified pattern. It is exported for use in other modules

Usage:
strmatch = require("Module:String")._match
sresult = strmatch( s, pattern, start, match, plain, nomatch )

Parameters
    s: The string to search
    pattern: The pattern or string to find within the string
    start: The index within the source string to start the search.  The first
        character of the string has index 1.  Defaults to 1.
    match: In some cases it may be possible to make multiple matches on a single
        string.  This specifies which match to return, where the first match is
        match= 1.  If a negative number is specified then a match is returned
        counting from the last match.  Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting
        the last match.  Defaults to 1.
    plain: A flag indicating that the pattern should be understood as plain
        text.  Defaults to false.
    nomatch: If no match is found, output the "nomatch" value rather than an error.

Parameters
    s: The string to search
    pattern: The pattern or string to find within the string
    start: The index within the source string to start the search.  The first
        character of the string has index 1.  Defaults to 1.
    match: In some cases it may be possible to make multiple matches on a single
        string.  This specifies which match to return, where the first match is
        match= 1.  If a negative number is specified then a match is returned
        counting from the last match.  Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting
        the last match.  Defaults to 1.
    plain: A flag indicating that the pattern should be understood as plain
        text.  Defaults to false.
    nomatch: If no match is found, output the "nomatch" value rather than an error.

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from each string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

If the match_number or start_index are out of range for the string being queried, then
this function generates an error.  An error is also generated if no match is found.
If one adds the parameter ignore_errors=true, then the error will be suppressed and
an empty string will be returned on any failure.

pos

This function returns a single character from the target string at position pos.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|pos|target_string|index_value}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|pos|target=target_string|pos=index_value}}

Parameters
    target: The string to search
    pos: The index for the character to return

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the target string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

The first character has an index value of 1.

If one requests a negative value, this function will select a character by counting backwards
from the end of the string.  In other words pos = -1 is the same as asking for the last character.

A requested value of zero, or a value greater than the length of the string returns an error.

str_find

This function duplicates the behavior of {{str_find}}, including all of its quirks.
This is provided in order to support existing templates, but is NOT RECOMMENDED for
new code and templates.  New code is recommended to use the "find" function instead.

Returns the first index in "source" that is a match to "target".  Indexing is 1-based,
and the function returns -1 if the "target" string is not present in "source".

Important Note: If the "target" string is empty / missing, this function returns a
value of "1", which is generally unexpected behavior, and must be accounted for
separatetly.

{{#invoke:String|find|source_str|target_string|start_index|plain_flag}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|find|source=source_str|target=target_str|start=start_index|plain=plain_flag}}

Parameters
    source: The string to search
    target: The string or pattern to find within source
    start: The index within the source string to start the search, defaults to 1
    plain: Boolean flag indicating that target should be understood as plain
        text and not as a Lua style regular expression, defaults to true

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the parameter.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

This function returns the first index &gt;= "start" where "target" can be found
within "source".  Indices are 1-based.  If "target" is not found, then this
function returns 0.  If either "source" or "target" are missing / empty, this
function also returns 0.

This function should be safe for UTF-8 strings.

--         Name:  p.name
--      Purpose:  Find a template invocation name from a page name or a
--                mw.title object.
--  Description:  This function detects whether a string or a mw.title
--                object has been passed in, and uses that to find a
--                template name as it is used in template invocations.
--   Parameters:  title - full page name or mw.title object for the
--                template (string or mw.title object)
--      Returns:  String
------------------------------------------------------------------------

--         Name:  p.invocation
--      Purpose:  Construct a MediaWiki template invocation.
--  Description:  This function makes a template invocation from the
--                name and the arguments given. Note that it isn't
--                perfect: we have no way of knowing what whitespace was
--                in the original invocation, the named parameters will be
--                alphabetically sorted, and any parameters with duplicate keys
--                will be removed.
--   Parameters:  name - the template name, formatted as it will appear
--                    in the invocation. (string)
--                args - a table of template arguments. (table)
--                format - formatting options. (string, optional)
--                    Set to "nowiki" to escape, curly braces, pipes and
--                    equals signs with their HTML entities. The default
--                    is unescaped.
--      Returns:  String

Use this template when you have a ''similar'' topic that should be prominently linked to another article, either for more information or to avoid confusion between similarly-named articles.

It generally takes one unnamed parameter, &lt;code&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/code&gt;, as input. By default, it returns "For more information, see &lt;code&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/code&gt;", where &lt;code&gt;{{{1}}}&lt;/code&gt; is a link to the referenced article. A second unnamed parameter will replace "more information" and a third will replace the text which refers to the linked article. For example, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{for|cosmere|oodles of information|this page about the cosmere}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; produces:
: {{for|cosmere|oodles of information|this page about the cosmere}}

The template is intended to be brief, but additional optional parameters &lt;code&gt;|pre=&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;|post=&lt;/code&gt; allow you to add additional explanatory text at the beginning or end of the displayed text, if necessary. For example, &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;{{for|Wulfden the First|the first Wyrn named Wulfden|pre='Wulfden' redirects here}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/code&gt; produces:
: {{for|Wulfden the First|the first Wyrn named Wulfden|pre='Wulfden' redirects here}}

 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens of even hundreds.</text>

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour lighter, at around 2 kg without the straps.

Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, as well as thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to heating up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails

    <text bytes="8617" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost like they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour lighter, at around 2 kg without the straps.

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the ward shield. This causes the rest of the energy of the ward to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the ward shield can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.


 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, such a wager tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, and doing it alone can be very slow though possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit practically weightless. Donning the armour alone could take up to half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly, around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers, and defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before or after the arming doublet is donned.

== Vulnerability ==
Ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful but does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore the disabling of this is of key importance to the opponent. The ward can be overwhelmed in any one area and cause the entire ward to fail, making the wearer vulnerable. At this point, conventional weapons can be used such as percussive weapons. which are able to deliver force through the armour like regular platemail.

The metal the ethyrmaille plates are made of is stronger than the steel used in platemail, but can still be damaged by the application of a strong force. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, flame, or</text>

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

    <text bytes="8790" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

== History ==
existing ancient magics:
soul magic
strong magic/strengthmage
dark magic/blood magic/death magic
green magic/druidism
fire magic/burnmages
god magic, masters of magic/destruction/creation
solar magic/white/sun/light
wyrdmagic (wyrdstones)

 a scientist-mage discovers the prism, and notes how it splits light into 7 colours
 posits that there must be 7 fields of magic, since green magic existed
 he realised that he could name fields of magic after colours
 eventually he associated cherenkov radiation with blue magic for its glow
 other mages began adopting this colour system over 60 years later
 some more dedicated ones attributed all known magics into these 7 fields
 lingliir the manycoloured was the one who compiled the rainbow list
 and he was the one who paired up the following: in doing so he discovered that there should be a field of magic that corresponds to red and indigo, that were yet undiscovered. he labelled these as destruction and creation, respectively
 later scientists combined the two as aspects of the same thing, and that it was what the slann used in their god magic. they separated both out from the rainbow but tradition kept it being called red magic
 only indigo magic was a known but undiscovered field
 the name for dark magic being black magic never caught on
 as it stands: some scholars argued that the classification doesn’t cover some more distinctly different sorts of magic. strengthmages werent covered in this format, and some links were tenuous at best. 
 eventually Jigon discovered the relationship between all magic sources that draw from light as its own thing and the differences between that and the other fields
 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)


white	all light magic, undiluted
black	dark magic, death
red	destruction
orange	fire
yellow	sunlight
green	green magic
blue	wyrdmagic
indigo	?
violet	soul magic (decomposition)
	
	
white	unseparated light
red	creation/destruction
orange	fire
yellow	sunlight
green	plants
blue	wyrdstone

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

== History ==
=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existance of the following types of magic users:

* Strenghtmages (Strength magic)
* Druidism (Green magic)
* Soulcerers (Soul magic)
* Burnmages (Fire magic)
* Wyrdmages (Wyrdmagic)
* Practitioners of solar magic (White/Sun/Light magic)
* Practitioners of "dark magic" (Blood magic or Death magic?)
* Masters of magic, practitioners of "god magic" (Creation &amp; Destruction magic)

=== Antiquity ===
In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. Later scientist-mages combined the fields of Creation and Destruction into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving 

 he realised that he could name fields of magic after colours
 other mages began adopting this colour system over 60 years later

 lingliir the manycoloured was the one who compiled the rainbow list
 and he was the one who paired up the following: in doing so he discovered that there should be a field of magic that corresponds to red and indigo, that were yet undiscovered. he labelled these as destruction and creation, respectively
 later scientists combined the two as aspects of the same thing, and that it was what the slann used in their god magic. they separated both out from the rainbow but tradition kept it being called red magic
 only indigo magic was a known but undiscovered field
 the name for dark magic being black magic never caught on
 as it stands: some scholars argued that the classification doesn’t cover some more distinctly different sorts of magic. strengthmages werent covered in this format, and some links were tenuous at best. 

 eventually Jigon discovered the relationship between all magic sources that draw from light as its own thing and the differences between that and the other fields
 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)

He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr.

It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. 


 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic

 4	white magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past

    <text bytes="12799" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existance of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

    <text bytes="12799" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

=== Antiquity ===
In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr.

    <text bytes="13506" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

=== Antiquity ===
In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. 


 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)


white	all light magic, undiluted
black	dark magic, death

    <text bytes="13508" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

=== Antiquity ===
In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. 


 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)


white	all light magic, undiluted
black	dark magic, death
red	destruction
orange	fire
yellow	sunlight
green	green magic
blue	wyrdmagic

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. 


 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)


white	all light magic, undiluted
black	dark magic, death
red	destruction
orange	fire
yellow	sunlight
green	green magic
blue	wyrdmagic
indigo	?
violet	soul magic (decomposition)
	
	
white	unseparated light
red	creation/destruction
orange	fire
yellow	sunlight
green	plants
blue	wyrdstone
indigo	?
violet	souls
black	death/blood

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. 


 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)

It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. 


 struggling to describe the differences, he described it as a rainbow, of which white light was but one of 7. 
 the others he described were Jigons list:	
 1	creation/destruction magic
 2	wyrd magic
 3	?
 4	white magic
 5	dark magic
 6	soul magic
 7	strong magic

 this was refined and accepted as true once the 7 colours were reattributed to new sources that better matched the colours:
 due to the gaps not having a proper reason for being there a decision was made to view it as a set of 6, with a rainbow having 6 colours
 this caused the violet magic to be abandoned yet again

 wasn’t until hundreds of years later, with both theories (old names, colour names, and both) being used interchangably, that a new theory came along
 this theory proposed that there were 4 basic forces, each of which carried magic - based on the different feel of the sources of the magic despite being based on the feel of the magic, it was accepted as more mages used more varying fields rather than specialising as much as in the past
 these 4 fields were - light(magnetic/light/newly discovered electric), wyrd (radiation), creation (nuclear), and material (mass)

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Ethyric Theory]]}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

__TOC__

== Fields and Realms ==
In physics, all particles and energies exist in fields that occupy space in the universe and contain energy. Individual particles are perturbations of specific fields such as a photon being a manifestation of a ripple in the electromagnetic field. Likewise, the many layers of the Ethyric field interact with specific physical fields in unique ways. These interactions result in manifestations within the Ethyric field, which is perceived by living organisms as Ethyr. 

An example is to consider Light-Ethyr. When the electromagnetic field ripples, the force is carried by a particle called a photon. However, the very same ripple also causes a ripple in the Light-Ethyr field, much as moving a blanket will move a second blanket placed above it. This ripple in the Ethyric field manifests as Ethyr, which is not truly a particle nor energy, but its own class of being somewhere between the two. As the field that was perturbed was the field of light, the ethyr manifested is Light-Ethyr. 

== Flavours ==
Depending on which field was perturbed, the Ethyr manifested can have a certain 'flavour'. The first main division is which of the four fundamental forces interacted with the Ethyric field. This decides which variety of Ethyr is manifested. Next, the precise interaction decides what flavour the Ethyr takes up. These flavours limit the Ethyr's utility, as flavoured Ethyr can only be used to manipulate fields the flavour is linked to. 

For example, gravity-ethyr cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the Ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of wyrd-ether that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In the earlier example of Light-Ethyr, the specific flavour would not have to be solar, as despite the name, this light does not need to have originated from the sun. Any source of photons can cause Light-Ethyr to manifest. However, the quantity would be so low as to not be detectable unless the source is emitting a lot of light. For this reason, the Sun is the most common source of solar Light-Ethyr. Fires, while also outputting sufficient light, also perturb enough other fields to flavour the Ethyr as fire flavour ethyr.

== Fields and Realms ==
In physics, all particles and energies exist in fields that occupy space in the universe and contain energy. Individual particles are perturbations of specific fields such as a photon being a manifestation of a ripple in the electromagnetic field.

    <text bytes="4172" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to the electromagnetic force is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all interactions of electromagnetism perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr, as electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is magnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

===== Water =====
 Phase changes

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

 electricity and magnetism in harmony

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

=== Magnetic ===

    <text bytes="5824" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races.

__TOC__

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. Wyrd has the strongest correlation with a colour, as using wyrd flavoured wyrd-ethyr often causes a physical glow visible to individuals without magesight that can range from neon green to electruc blues, which has been dubbed Cherenkov radiation. This averages out to a turquoise ethyr. The other flavours often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is shown below as black, and vacuum-flavour shown as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to amethyst haze, to black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

=== Gravity-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

    <text bytes="4266" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to the electromagnetic force is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all interactions of electromagnetism perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr. Since electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole, these three flavours are Magnetic, Electric, and the combination of both, Chemical.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

===== Water =====
 Phase changes

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

 electricity and magnetism in harmony

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

=== Magnetic ===
 magnetic magic spells and uses

=== Chemical flavours ===
 chemistry spells and uses

=== Fire ===
 firebending

=== Solar ===
 light magic spells and uses

=== Growth ===
 healing spells, simple to complex
 growth uses in nature for trees
 growth uses for creating vines etc
 healing used by elves physiology

=== Water ===
 melting and boiling/freezing and condensing water spells and uses

=== Electric ===
 electricity spells and uses

Gravity-Ethyr enter the universe through a number of interactions between the gravitational field and the ethyric field.

 Perhaps Gravity Ethyr is unique in not releasing ethyr but having ethyr intrinsically? Would help explain mass ethyr and tides maybe

 Gravity-Ethyr enter the universe through a number of interactions between the gravitational field and the ethyric field. Potential is when a mass experiences a sudden reduction in its gravitational potential energy, most often when it is converted to kinetic energy as it begins to fall. This interaction releases potential flavour gravity-ethyr, almost as a waterfall of ethyric mist tracing the path where the falling object travelled.

 Weight flavour ethyr exists where there is a mass somehow.

 Tidal flavour ethyr is linked to the moon somehow

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 Creation-Ethyr enters the universe through a number of interactions between the strong nuclear force and the ethyric field. The concentration of strong force held by the gluons between quarks in protons and neutrons is the source of around half of the mass of all matter. Similarly, the strong force is what holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of atoms, and breaking this bond releases massive amounts of energy.

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine
* A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* Ropevines are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.

* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

'''The Old Ones''', also known as the '''Primordials''', or as various '''gods''', are little-known hyper-powerful individuals who either created or modified Terracil and its living creatures. It has been theorised that they were servants of the original One God, but alternate interpretations suggest they were hyper-advanced aliens with incredible knowledge of the [[ethyric arts]] or even entirely mythical.

The Old Ones are often described conflictingly as faceless (usually) humanoid individuals wearing armour or a shell, or as composed of different types of effects such as flames, light, water, smoke, or incorporeal. These could be interpreted as the Old Ones being able to change their appearance as they will, to create illusions around their forms (and possibly create avatars using their illusory holograms), or that they were so in tune with the Ethyr that they reflected their expertise in the Ethyric Arts in how their forms bled from their true bodies to manifestations of different flavours of Ethyr.

The Old Ones were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being variously credited with everything from the granting of sapience and free will to the peoples of Terracil, to the creation of Terracil itself from nothing. Claims differ depending on the religion in question, but scholarly consensus seems to rest with the "Modification Theory", where the Old Ones did not create everything but modified what they found as they saw fit.

== Known Old Ones ==
There are many known Primordials, and they are known by many names according to the local languages who have adopted them as gods. Though the domains these gods govern may not always be consistent, there is usually some degree of alignment between what they are the gods of in different religious pantheons.

== History ==
 The Old Ones Arrive
There came the day when the Old Ones arrived to this chosen world. They beheld the beauty of Creation and were taken up with awe. They watched as the world was formed and the seeds given life and all the ages of the world flew past, and they saved it to learn more about the creations of their God. Everything they saved was put in its rightful place in the Eternal Record, which resides up in the second heaven, and so that the people of the world might find it and learn of the beauty of Creation a place was set aside for the Eternal Record upon the land. These spirits then looked upon the people of the world and asked them what gifts they would have bestowed upon them They also looked upon the lizards and frogs of the jungle and thought them deserving of being people, and so they were pulled and formed and uplifted into people, with the spark of life within them being enriched as thought was breathed into them.
History 
 The peoples of the world had grown and built and lived long before the Spirits had arrived, but with their new gifts they resumed their lives with renewed vigour, skill, and knowledge. Some took to crafting ever greater tools, others to growing more beauty and yet others to yearning after more knowledge, but as always there were those who wanted nothing more than to enjoy what they liked at the expense of others. The Old Ones were no strangers to fights and love and feelings as they too had personalities of their own, but they watched on in horror and fascination as people warred and killed. The wisdom of the Creator echoed in their heads and they know that despite all the cruelty and hardship and death in the world, there was good and kindness and content, and the peoples would not be controlled, for control was a loss of their gift of freedom, but allowed to continue as they willed, knowing that good will always prevail.</text>

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

== History ==

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs of the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The valley was populated by homo erectus, and as that species spread out across the lands to the north and south they discovered new places to live. Over time these populations adapted further to their new lands and biomes and diverged, forming the many species of Manush, Myaner, and Drokha. The Manush population exhibited the greatest extent of physiological diversity from the diminutive ''cha''manush, to the tall and slender ''kha-ka''manush, to the heavily built ''w'ha''manush. These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech.

These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech. 

The early Manush lived in bands of individuals from small families around 10 individuals as seen in ''w'ha''manush to larger tribes 50 strong  as seen in the tight-knit social structures of ''cha''manush. It is currently unknown how ethyr users were seen or how they were integrated into tribes, indeed if at all, and it likely differs greatly based on which of the ethyric arts were practised. It is likely that growth, fire, and solar light-ethyr were the most commonly used, as these would have been the most useful to neolithic hunter-gatherers to justify the extra resources required. It is likely around this time that wolves were domesticated into dogs and incorporated as part of a tribe to help with hunting. 

It is theorised that the use of growth flavour light-ethyr was a major contributor to the agricultural revolution, as it would have been more convenient and beneficial for tribes to set up more permanently around food sources they could grow. However, due to limited lifespans, it is possible that these early farming communities fell apart and starved or otherwise abandoned agriculture once the druid/lifemage died. If this is the case, knowledge of agriculture could have been widespread and merely needed the right time, place, and population for a spark to catch and remain past the death of a lifemage, or perhaps sheer luck and multiple lifemages were enough to kickstart this new means of life. Other theories name climate change and the lessening availability of food to hunter-gatherer peoples as the main reason people took to agriculture. 

Once Manush began to grow their own plants for food, and domesticating goats, pigs, sheep, and cattle, the population saw a quick rise, leading to urbanisation and higher-density populations. This gave rise to the first cities. Due to the division of labour required for farming crops, raising animals, and managing an urban environment, class stratification occurred across many of these urban centres. The leading class varied between cultures, however, as in some places it was kings and viziers who lead urban planning, priests who lead through faith, or mages who wielded power through the ethyr and their importance to the steadiness of the food supply, or even a mixture such as the priest-kings of Sumer or the Mage-Priests of Egypt. Most of these city-states were governed by a monarchy or a council of leaders in an oligarchy.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

[[File:Moonstone.jpg|400px|thumb|right|alt=A rectangular block of a pale yellow transparent stone.|Pale yellow moonstone is the most common type and can be found in blocks as large and as pure and transparent as this.]]

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone is transparent to opaque and may occasionally show phosphorescence or fluorescence. A transparent variety called sunstone is used for optical purposes.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property.

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone is transparent to opaque and may occasionally show phosphorescence or fluorescence. A transparent variety called sunstone is used for optical purposes.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property.

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, TRC IV, TRC V}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== TRC IV ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.</text>

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

    <text bytes="5748" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By the Itzatecah mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

    <text bytes="6051" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By the Itzatecah mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

    <text bytes="12476" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By the Itzatecah mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

    <text bytes="13421" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By the Itzatecah mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

The leap year occurs ever eleven years in this calendar, and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two days between the final numbered day of Motli and before the first numbered day of Mitli.</text>

    <text bytes="13430" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By the Itzatecah mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs ever eleven years in this calendar, and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two days between the final numbered day of Motli and before the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, differing by 0.090909. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.</text>

    <text bytes="16528" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By the Itzatecah mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs ever eleven years in this calendar, and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two days between the final numbered day of Motli and before the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, differing by 0.090909. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.</text>

    <text bytes="8892" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost like they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour lighter, at around 2 kg without the straps.

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the ward shield. This causes the rest of the energy of the ward to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the ward shield can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.


 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, such a wager tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, and doing it alone can be very slow though possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit practically weightless. Donning the armour alone could take up to half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly, around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers, and defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before or after the arming doublet is donned.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain concerns for the wearer.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 

Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

'''The Old Ones''', also known as the '''Primordials''', or as various '''gods''', are little-known hyper-powerful individuals who either created or modified Terracil and its living creatures. It has been theorised that they were servants of the original One God, but alternate interpretations suggest they were hyper-advanced aliens with incredible knowledge of the [[ethyric arts]] or even entirely mythical.

The Old Ones' physical descriptions generally fall in two conflicting camps. The divinity camp usually favours describing these enigmatic and powerful entities as being composed of different types of effects such as flames, light, water, smoke, or even incorporeal sections, all in a usually humanoid shape. The other major group of depictions usually follows a trend of humanoid individuals wearing armour or a shell, sometimes with halos about them to show divinity. Some theories theory proposed by Jasnah Kholin interpret this as the Old Ones being able to change their appearance at will, to create illusions around their forms (and possibly create avatars using their illusory holograms), or that their forms bled back and forth from true bodies to manifestations of different flavours of Ethyr, reflecting how in tune they were with the Ethyr or their expertise in the Ethyric Arts.

The Old Ones were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being variously credited with everything from the granting of sapience and free will to the peoples of Terracil, to the creation of Terracil itself from nothing. Claims differ depending on the religion in question, but scholarly consensus seems to rest with the "Modification Theory", where the Old Ones did not create everything but modified what they found as they saw fit. Regardless, they are the foremost deities of the world of Terracil.

== Known Old Ones ==
There are many known Primordials, and they are known by many names according to the local languages who have adopted them as gods. Though the domains these gods govern may not always be consistent, there is usually some degree of alignment between what they are the gods of in different religious pantheons.

== History ==
 The Old Ones Arrive
 There came the day when the Old Ones arrived to this chosen world. They beheld the beauty of Creation and were taken up with awe. They watched as the world was formed and the seeds given life and all the ages of the world flew past, and they saved it to learn more about the creations of their God. Everything they saved was put in its rightful place in the Eternal Record, which resides up in the second heaven, and so that the people of the world might find it and learn of the beauty of Creation a place was set aside for the Eternal Record upon the land. These spirits then looked upon the people of the world and asked them what gifts they would have bestowed upon them They also looked upon the lizards and frogs of the jungle and thought them deserving of being people, and so they were pulled and formed and uplifted into people, with the spark of life within them being enriched as thought was breathed into them.
History 
 The peoples of the world had grown and built and lived long before the Spirits had arrived, but with their new gifts they resumed their lives with renewed vigour, skill, and knowledge. Some took to crafting ever greater tools, others to growing more beauty and yet others to yearning after more knowledge, but as always there were those who wanted nothing more than to enjoy what they liked at the expense of others. The Old Ones were no strangers to fights and love and feelings as they too had personalities of their own, but they watched on in horror and fascination as people warred and killed. The wisdom of the Creator echoed in their heads and they know that despite all the cruelty and hardship and death in the world, there was good and kindness and content, and the peoples would not be controlled, for control was a loss of their gift of freedom, but allowed to continue as they willed, knowing that good will always prevail.</text>

    <text bytes="14305" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function.

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

This ability is known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through interactions of the four fundamental forces. All magic systems in the universe derive from fluctuations in an [[ethyric field]] that interact with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can have different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally.

The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="15262" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Accordingly, more mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees.

Overall such a combination is rare. However, of those who can use ethyr, there are greater subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use all types of ethyr, and is often considered to be a thing of higher deities, not mere mortals. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. Accessing the four types of ethyr are not equally common, however, as light-ethyr is disproportionately more common than the other 3. More common is the ability to use a certain flavour or subdivision of one type of ethyr. Again, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again by far the most common.


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

    <text bytes="4499" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to the electromagnetic force is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all interactions of electromagnetism perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of light-ethyr. Since electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole, these three flavours are Magnetic, Electric, and the combination of both, Chemical.
=== Magnetic ===
Magnetic flavours of ethyr ... push pull. pure magnetism

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

==== Chemical ====
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

===== Fire =====
 RETHINK THIS

===== Growth =====
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

===== Water =====
 Phase changes

=== Electric ===
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

=== Electromagnetic Radiation ===
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

=== Chemical flavours ===

There are three main flavours of light-ethyr. Since electromagnetism is comprised of two sides of the same coin, electricity and magnetism, to form the whole, these three flavours are Magnetic, Electric, and the combination of both, Chemical.

Magnetic

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst).

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day.

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose.

    <text bytes="3959" xml:space="preserve">The Flora on Terracil has evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis. In polar regions where it is warm enough to still grow, plants have adopted more yellow chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight by being the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns.

__TOC__

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine
* A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* Ropevines are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

    <text bytes="5858" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

__TOC__

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine
* A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* Ropevines are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* Ropevines are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="6654" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive?

    <text bytes="1908" xml:space="preserve">Acorn bread, also known as Elfbread, is the staple crop for many [[myaner]] across [[Terracil]]. Baked from a dough made with ground acorns, it can be made into leavened or unleavened loafs, as well as a variety of other applications such as boiled in making dumplings, or fried to make doughnuts.

[[File:Acorn-bread.png|400px|thumb|right|alt=A loaf of smooth grained brown bread, sliced.|A loaf of acorn bread, sliced and with a slab of butter, representing a common cheap meal for sustenance.]]

Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire region, as it could be farmed within the oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops. Furthermore as steadily growing and large plant life, these forest-farms were a perfect fit for the lifestyle of the [[Eytor]] people both as a source of [[life magic]] as well as being the trees they had lived under for millennia. 

Houses could be built into the very trees that provided their food, as well as providing cover that the Eytor exploited with their coordinated hunting methods. This also prompted advancements in grafting and other concepts, allowing the eytor who lived there to become among the forefront of the world when it came to horticultural knowledge. It is common to see forests of oaks cultivated to provide the best yields of acorns suited to being ground to flour, as well as grafting other fruits and spices to the trees to supplement the diet and for convenience.

Acorn bread is remarkably nourishing, despite most [[manush]] dismissing it as edible but not good enough to be a staple crop. To the present, it still is the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can be passed through by trespassers without them even knowing.</text>

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone is transparent to opaque and may occasionally show phosphorescence or fluorescence. A transparent variety called sunstone is used for optical purposes.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

 Wyrd-Ethyr enters the universe through a number of interactions between the strong nuclear force and the ethyric field. The concentration of strong force held by the gluons between quarks in protons and neutrons is the source of around half of the mass of all matter.

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of wyrd-ethyr.

Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?
=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.

 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.

== Flavours ==
There are three main flavours of wyrd-ethyr. 
=== Wyrd ===
Wyrd flavour wyrd-ethyr is released through radioactive decay. Beta decay converting a proton to a neutron or vice versa causes a release of wyrd energy, which can be used to power wyrd spells. The most common practitioners are usually scholars, applying alchemical knowledge to ethyr. 

In fact, there is a considerable degree of partnership between wyrd and light ethyr scholars. Alchemical studies have usually been the purview of the latter due to chemical flavour light ethyr both finding its source in, and being indispensable for, chemical reactions. 

However, the link between light ethyr and wyrd ethyr is further reinforced by the existence of 'key' spells, which are light ethyr spells that can draw out wyrd to the same degree of efficacy as dedicated wyrd spells. This has caused the alliance between mages of the two separate schools to engage in open discourse and research, expanding the knowledge of these types of ethyr. 

Regardless, wyrd-ethyr from radiation is a dangerous game to play. It has become common to expect wyrd practitioners to suffer from "wizard's death" far more often than other wizards. This term usually refers to the assorted skin damage; bleeding from the eyes, nose, and gums; nausea and vomiting; and weakness and fatigue that wizards experience when exposed to these sources of wyrd. The degree of power it provides, both through the abilities themselves and through the prestige it grants, are however usually considered worth it to the budding mage acolyte who discovers his ability to manipulate wyrd ethyr.

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?
=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.

    <text bytes="5553" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to decay is known as '''wyrd-ethyr'''. Not all interactions due to decay perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Wyrd-Ethyr manifests in the universe through decay. When things succumb to the force of entropy, they leave behind thin wisps of ethyr that readily reacts to further cause ruin. On the other hand, it can be used for less destructive purposes such as crystallisation or even summoning light. The exact thing decaying can cause vastly different flavours of ethyr to be manifested, from the release of soul ethyr as souls or ethyr decay, to the arcane void ethyr released through harvesting vacuum energy.

== Flavours ==
There are four main flavours of wyrd-ethyr, each of which are derived from their according origin. There are often subsets to the main flavours.
=== Wyrd ===
Wyrd flavour wyrd-ethyr is released through radioactive decay. Beta decay converting a proton to a neutron or vice versa causes a release of wyrd energy, which can be used to power wyrd spells. The most common practitioners are usually scholars, applying alchemical knowledge to ethyr. 

In fact, there is a considerable degree of partnership between wyrd and light ethyr scholars. Alchemical studies have usually been the purview of the latter due to chemical flavour light ethyr both finding its source in, and being indispensable for, chemical reactions. 

However, the link between light ethyr and wyrd ethyr is further reinforced by the existence of 'key' spells, which are light ethyr spells that can draw out wyrd to the same degree of efficacy as dedicated wyrd spells. This has caused the alliance between mages of the two separate schools to engage in open discourse and research, expanding the knowledge of these types of ethyr. 

Regardless, wyrd-ethyr from radiation is a dangerous game to play. It has become common to expect wyrd practitioners to suffer from "wizard's death" far more often than other wizards. This term usually refers to the assorted skin damage; bleeding from the eyes, nose, and gums; nausea and vomiting; and weakness and fatigue that wizards experience when exposed to these sources of wyrd. The degree of power it provides, both through the abilities themselves and through the prestige it grants, are however usually considered worth it to the budding mage acolyte who discovers his ability to manipulate wyrd ethyr.

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?
=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.
=== Void ===
Decay of the energy of the void.

== Mechanics ==
=== Source ===
Wyrd - Radioactive decay.

Soul - Soul slowly decaying. 

Death - Decay of the bond between mind and body. Somehow acquire ethyr from death, the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or only the ones with sapience/free will?

Void - Decay of the energy of the void. Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay (quantum vacuum fluctuations)

=== Application ===
Wyrd - Spells themed around radioactivity, perhaps?

Soul - Binding souls. Creating ai, especially binding into artefacts. Manipulating the Domain?

Death - Could it be used to perform murderous atrocities?

Void - Use wyrd to draw out wyrd ethyr from thin air - hack the system for renewable ethyr energy (but vastly dangerous). Also maybe a source of actual energy, too. 


=== Further Ideas ===
 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons.

Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can see in sped up at the expense of needing extra rations later, whereas they can slow down their perception to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

 Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can see in sped up at the expense of needing extra rations later, whereas they can slow down their perception to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

== Manush ==
{{MainArticle| [[Manush]]|}} 

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

    <text bytes="22271" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

===Tetrapoda===

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| 313 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

| style="text-align:left;" | One subgroup of therapsids, the cynodonts, evolved more mammal-like characteristics. The jaws of cynodonts resemble modern mammal jaws. This group of animals likely contains a species which is the ancestor of all modern mammals. 

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

Recent genome sequencing of the platypus indicates that its sex genes are closer to those of birds than to those of the therian (live birthing) mammals. Comparing this to other mammals, it can be inferred that the first mammals to gain sexual differentiation through the existence or lack of SRY gene (found in the y-Chromosome) evolved after the monotreme lineage split off.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.9.13.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First euarchonta. A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="23814" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined. 

__TOC__

==Ideas==
 Find the time that myaner and drokha diverged from manush and start before that point. Old Ones must come after divergence and possibly after diversification but before agriculture
 The idea is to have the old ones skip the time from diversification to agriculture, so the other species do not go extinct during the paleolithic.
 Would like to have evidence of ancient religion before the Old Ones like Gobekli Tepe (11500 years ago).
Agricultural Revolution 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Revolution
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg

 At earliest 12,000 years ago. Would begin with selective breeding of plants like cereals. Other places can begin later. 
 Perhaps this gives the myaner time to form their civilisations early. Their long ages help them to be able to retain knowledge and accumulate it more, so they develop quickly. Farming spreads across continent. Animals begin to be domesticated. (work out animals in the area! Spec-evo birds dominant? Yi qi dragons.) 
 Bronze age begins much sooner than for manush. (Manush will follow real world timeline, myaner accelerated, and drokha and melinorati in the middle. Shamlek and merse will have to be fleshed out further later.)
 Density of farming communities causes civilisation to start to urbanise. Cities pop up, with leaders who decide who does what labour and organises everything. Class systems begin. Forerunner rates have origins in this? Early rates would be farmer, crafter, defender/warrior, organiser/priest.

Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

===Tetrapoda===

|-
| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="24831" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined. 

__TOC__

==Ideas==
 Find the time that myaner and drokha diverged from manush and start before that point. Old Ones must come after divergence and possibly after diversification but before agriculture
 The idea is to have the old ones skip the time from diversification to agriculture, so the other species do not go extinct during the paleolithic.
 Would like to have evidence of ancient religion before the Old Ones like Gobekli Tepe (11500 years ago).
 Agricultural Revolution 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Revolution
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg

 Started at earliest, 12,000 years ago. Would begin with selective breeding of plants like cereals. Other places can begin later. 
 Perhaps this gives the myaner time to form their civilisations early. Their long ages help them to be able to retain knowledge and accumulate it more, so they develop quickly. Farming spreads across continent. Animals begin to be domesticated. (work out animals in the area! Spec-evo birds dominant? Yi qi dragons.) 
 Bronze age begins much sooner than for manush. (Manush will follow real world timeline, myaner accelerated, and drokha and melinorati in the middle. Shamlek and merse will have to be fleshed out further later.)
 Density of farming communities causes civilisation to start to urbanise. Cities pop up, with leaders who decide who does what labour and organises everything. Class systems begin. Forerunner rates have origins in this? Early rates would be farmer, crafter, defender/warrior, organiser/priest.
 Pottery, writing, smelting, and alloying metals are discovered. Elves encounter humans who are still in the stone age so these magic and metal wielding eternal people are considered impossibly alien and advanced. Furnaces can reach 900-1100 C which is enough to smelt tin and copper, but not yet iron with any ease (needs 1250 C). Writing systems emerge. Origins in pressing circles into clay like cuneiform.
 Slavery develops as economic model? Some kingdoms have centralised models like Egypt, others are decentralised like Mycenae. Trade routes for acquiring tin and copper are essential for running the civilisations, and provides impetus for control of these routes and sources. 
 
 Advances in magic due to lore being more easily accumulated over long lives, and passed along through writing. Results in spellcraft being popularised. 
 Drokha make advances in enchantments. 
 Perhaps they ally to benefit both in their works, and create some of the cooler artefacts from their time e.g. ethyrplate.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="24888" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined. 

__TOC__

==Ideas==
 Find the time that myaner and drokha diverged from manush and start before that point. Old Ones must come after divergence and possibly after diversification but before agriculture
 The idea is to have the old ones skip the time from diversification to agriculture, so the other species do not go extinct during the paleolithic.
 Would like to have evidence of ancient religion before the Old Ones like Gobekli Tepe (11500 years ago).
 Agricultural Revolution 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Revolution
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg

 Started at the earliest 12,000 years ago. Would begin with selective breeding of plants like cereals. Other places can begin later. 
 Perhaps this gives the myaner time to form their civilisations early. Their long ages help them to be able to retain knowledge and accumulate it more, so they develop quickly. Farming spreads across continent. Animals begin to be domesticated. (work out animals in the area! Spec-evo birds dominant? Yi qi dragons.) 
 Bronze age begins much sooner than for manush. (Manush will follow real world timeline, myaner accelerated, and drokha and melinorati in the middle. Shamlek and merse will have to be fleshed out further later.)
 Density of farming communities causes civilisation to start to urbanise. Cities pop up, with leaders who decide who does what labour and organises everything. Class systems begin. Forerunner rates have origins in this? Early rates would be farmer, crafter, defender/warrior, organiser/priest.

 Pottery, writing, smelting, and alloying metals are discovered. Elves encounter humans who are still in the stone age so these magic and metal wielding eternal people are considered impossibly alien and advanced. Furnaces can reach 900-1100 C which is enough to smelt tin and copper, but not yet iron with any ease (needs 1250 C). Writing systems emerge. Origins in pressing circles into clay like cuneiform.
 Slavery develops as economic model? Some kingdoms have centralised models like Egypt, others are decentralised like Mycenae. Trade routes for acquiring tin and copper are essential for running the civilisations, and provides impetus for control of these routes and sources. 
 
 Advances in magic due to lore being more easily accumulated over long lives, and passed along through writing. Results in spellcraft being popularised. Think about what a magic 'tech tree' might look like.
 Drokha make advances in enchantments. 
 Perhaps they ally to benefit both in their works, and create some of the cooler artefacts from their time e.g. ethyrplate.

Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="24919" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined. 

__TOC__

==Ideas==
 Find the time that myaner and drokha diverged from manush and start before that point. Old Ones must come after divergence and possibly after diversification but before agriculture
 The idea is to have the old ones skip the time from diversification to agriculture, so the other species do not go extinct during the paleolithic.
 Would like to have evidence of ancient religion before the Old Ones like Gobekli Tepe (11500 years ago).
 Agricultural Revolution 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Revolution
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg

 Started at the earliest 12,000 years ago. Would begin with selective breeding of plants like cereals. Other places can begin later. 
 Perhaps this gives the myaner time to form their civilisations early. Their long ages help them to be able to retain knowledge and accumulate it more, so they develop quickly. Farming spreads across continent. Animals begin to be domesticated. (work out animals in the area! Spec-evo birds dominant? Yi qi dragons.) 
 Bronze age begins at different times for different regions, as irl. (Manush will follow real world timeline, myaner accelerated, and drokha and melinorati in the middle. Shamlek and merse will have to be fleshed out further at a later date.)
 Density of farming communities causes civilisation to start to urbanise. Cities pop up, with leaders who decide who does what labour and organises everything. Class systems begin. Forerunner rates have origins in this? Early rates would be farmer, crafter, defender/warrior, organiser/priest.

 Pottery, writing, smelting, and alloying metals are discovered. Elves encounter humans who are still in the stone age so these magic and metal wielding eternal people are considered impossibly alien and advanced. Furnaces can reach 900-1100 C which is enough to smelt tin and copper, but not yet iron with any ease (needs 1250 C). Writing systems emerge. Origins in pressing circles into clay like cuneiform.
 Slavery develops as economic model? Some kingdoms have centralised models like Egypt, others are decentralised like Mycenae. Trade routes for acquiring tin and copper are essential for running the civilisations, and provides impetus for control of these routes and sources. 
 
 Advances in magic due to lore being more easily accumulated over long lives, and passed along through writing. Results in spellcraft being popularised. Think about what a magic 'tech tree' might look like.
 Drokha make advances in enchantments. 
 Perhaps they ally to benefit both in their works, and create some of the cooler artefacts from their time e.g. ethyrplate.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

| 396 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="25568" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined. 

__TOC__

==Ideas==
 Old Ones needed to visit at some point during development due to needing to direct evolution a little bit (elven traits, dwarven ones, Shamlek, Itzatecah, and other things they need to have gotten done) 
 Find the time that myaner and drokha diverged from manush and start before that point. Old Ones must come after divergence and after diversification, but before agriculture.
 The idea is to have the old ones skip the time from diversification to agriculture, so the other species do not go extinct during the paleolithic.
 Idea: the Ollie Bye map over time but with populations for each (sub)/species as calculated using Artifexian's XCL, crops, etc.
 
 Basic timeline - Old Ones arrive, mess with genes -&gt; species diversify -&gt; Old Ones come back(?) -&gt; agriculture
 
 Is the second return necessary? for what? To skip the possibility of the diverse forms going extinct, giving their populations a stabilising hand.
 Would like to have evidence of ancient religion before the Old Ones like Gobekli Tepe (11500 years ago). Is this possible? Probably not, but would be impressive. 
 Agricultural Revolution 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Revolution
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg

 Started at the earliest 12,000 years ago. Would begin with selective breeding of plants like cereals. Other places can begin later. 
 Perhaps this gives the myaner time to form their civilisations early. Their long ages help them to be able to retain knowledge and accumulate it more, so they develop quickly. Farming spreads across continent. Animals begin to be domesticated. (work out animals in the area! Spec-evo birds dominant? Yi qi dragons.) 
 Bronze age begins at different times for different regions, as irl. (Manush will follow real world timeline, myaner accelerated, and drokha and melinorati in the middle. Shamlek and merse will have to be fleshed out further at a later date.)
 Density of farming communities causes civilisation to start to urbanise. Cities pop up, with leaders who decide who does what labour and organises everything. Class systems begin. Forerunner rates have origins in this? Early rates would be farmer, crafter, defender/warrior, organiser/priest.

 Pottery, writing, smelting, and alloying metals are discovered. Elves encounter humans who are still in the stone age so these magic and metal wielding eternal people are considered impossibly alien and advanced. Furnaces can reach 900-1100 C which is enough to smelt tin and copper, but not yet iron with any ease (needs 1250 C). Writing systems emerge. Origins in pressing circles into clay like cuneiform.
 Slavery develops as economic model? Some kingdoms have centralised models like Egypt, others are decentralised like Mycenae. Trade routes for acquiring tin and copper are essential for running the civilisations, and provides impetus for control of these routes and sources. 
 
 Advances in magic due to lore being more easily accumulated over long lives, and passed along through writing. Results in spellcraft being popularised. Think about what a magic 'tech tree' might look like.
 Drokha make advances in enchantments. 
 Perhaps they ally to benefit both in their works, and create some of the cooler artefacts from their time e.g. ethyrplate.

Separation from the Porifera (sponges) lineage. Eumetazoa/Diploblast: separation from the Ctenophora ("comb jellies") lineage. Planulozoa/ParaHoxozoa: separation from the Placozoa and Cnidaria lineages. Almost all cnidarians possess nerves and muscles. Because they are the simplest animals to possess them, their ancestors were very probably the first animals to use nerves and muscles together. Cnidarians are also the first animals with an actual body of definite form and shape. They have radial symmetry. The first eyes evolved at this time.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia are examples of these jawless fish, or Agnatha. (See also prehistoric fish). They were jawless and their internal skeletons were cartilaginous. They lacked the paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins of more advanced fish. They were precursors to the Osteichthyes (bony fish).

A placoderm's head and thorax were covered by articulated armoured plates and the rest of the body was scaled or naked. However, the fossil record indicates that they left no descendants after the end of the Devonian and are less closely related to living bony fishes than sharks are.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish. 
|-

| style="text-align:left;" | Tiktaalik is a genus of sarcopterygian (lobe-finned) fishes from the late Devonian with many tetrapod-like features. It shows a clear link between Panderichthys and Acanthostega. 
|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

| style="text-align:left;" | Sauropsids and Synapsids diverge. Shortly after the appearance of the first reptiles, two branches split off. One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

    <text bytes="6058" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races.

__TOC__

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours as light-ethyr. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. However despite this, some cases of wyrd ethyr being released coincide with either photons releasing and thus causing coloured glows visible to individuals without magesight, such as the phenomenon of Cherenkov radiation. There are also circumstances where making use of wyrd-flavour wyrd-ethyr can result in a neon green glow. As such, the colour traditionally applied to this flavour is turquoise, a mix of the electric blue and neon green colours that are most commonly seen.

The other flavours of wyrd-ethyr often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is traditionally depicted as black and vacuum-flavour as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to an amethyst haze or even a black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

=== Gravity-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

|}

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

    <text bytes="8885" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost like they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour lighter, at around 2 kg without the straps.

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the ward shield. This causes the rest of the energy of the ward to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the ward shield can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.


 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, such a wager tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, and doing it alone can be very slow though possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before or after the arming doublet is donned.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain concerns for the wearer.</text>

    <text bytes="6736" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

__TOC__

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

=== Spices &amp; Herbs ===
India + SE Asia:
South India: Basil, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Curry Mixture. Cinnamon
East: Ginger, licorice, sugar (cane)
Oceanea islands: Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, 

Mexico: Paprika, vanilla, cacao (from amazon?)

Iran: Hot arid climate. Coriander, Cumin. Cardamom. 

Mediterranean: Bay leaf, chamomile, fennel, lavender, mint, mustard (turnips, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, canola) oregano, saffron, rosemary, sage, thyme, dill, parsley. 

Jamaice: Allspice
Amazon: Cayenne
Central Asia: Garlic
South China: Jasmine
East Coast US: Sassafras (temperate wet climate)

    <text bytes="15445" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="7056" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field's]] interactions with electromagnetic fields is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all electromagnetic interactions perturb the ethyric field, and the ones that do all do so differently. Of these, there exist a few key subdivisions for ease of categorisation for people. 

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Chemical 
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

Fire 
 RETHINK THIS

Growth 
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

Water 
 Phase changes

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

=== Magnetic ===
 magnetic magic spells and uses

=== Chemical flavours ===
==== Chemical ====
 Cold pack ethyr batteries?
 chemistry spells and uses
 Need to think about. Perhaps manipulate bonds and use to create substances? Soulcasting??? Use to purify substances? Allow easier access to things like magnesia, or pure metals, or even to manipulate structures for transparent metal etc.
 

==== Blood ====
Blood magic is the 

 Perhaps the first instance of "blood magic" may have been from someone noticing that when a person died in a cave with a fire (through CO poisoning), their blood glowed faintly with red ethyr. Maybe a bowl of blood from a sacrifice next to a fire started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it.
 What would that ethyr be used for??
 Blood magic ethyr is used for gene manipulation. Can be used in future eras to directly change genes (replace CRISPR) but in earlier eras it is more random, ranging from imbuing powers (like Black Panther) to increasing attributes such as strength etc. Can be used to do Spartan augmentations.

=== Fire ===
 firebending

=== Solar ===
 light magic spells and uses
 lightweaving illusions
 blocking light in an area - permanent shadows? eg shadowed face
 shadowmancy?
 invisibility cloaks?
 light flashes, flares, flashbangs, etc

== Ethyric theory ==
 Perhaps Gravity Ethyr is unique in not releasing ethyr but having ethyr intrinsically? Would help explain mass ethyr and tides maybe

 Gravity-Ethyr enter the universe through a number of interactions between the gravitational field and the ethyric field. Potential is when a mass experiences a sudden reduction in its gravitational potential energy, most often when it is converted to kinetic energy as it begins to fall. This interaction releases potential flavour gravity-ethyr, almost as a waterfall of ethyric mist tracing the path where the falling object travelled.

 Weight flavour ethyr exists where there is a mass somehow.

 Tidal flavour ethyr is linked to the moon somehow


🏋🏼‍♂️ - Mass (gravity etc)
   🪨 - Falling objects release ethyr. Connected to gravitational potential energy transferring to kinetic energy. As gravitational energy is used up, it releases ethyr which can be used to make things fall slower, faster, levitate, or go up. Ethyr in this case is a way to convert energy from one form to another, multiplied by the body's own lifting ability. Can be used to survive large falls. Use potential energy to let things levitate.
   ⚖️ - Shift some mass from one thing to another. Limits: up to half of the selected objects' masses can be moved. Can make an anvil 50% it's usual weight, or make a suit of armour 150% it's usual weight. Need to always keep the source's and target's weights in mind at all times, and doing mental estimates and calculations to determine the best course of action.
   🌙 - Moonlight magic? I did want some mild degree of heavens magic, so future visions, probability bending, atium shadows?? Imagine casting Ati's Shadows on Saurus in combat holy fuck the carnage. Alternatively, magic surges during high tide thanks to the effect of gravity on water. Perhaps slow motion vision (changing perception of reality to be quicker) could arrive the same effect through less preternatural means. More likely to be a light spell. Electric, even.

Not all interactions from gravitation perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist three key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Gravity-Ethyr seeps into the universe through the imprint of mass upon the fabric of space-time, arising from an interaction between the gravitational field and the ethyric field. As a result, it can often be found concentrated where there is something heavy/with a lot of mass. There are numerous different varieties of gravity-ethyr, but they all follow the same rules.

Weight-flavour ethyr can be drawn through touch and used to temporarily 'relocate' the mass it originated from to a new location by a strengthmage. Moving the ethyr in this way causes the mass it represents to physically weigh down the practitioner, and as such they can only move an amount proportional to their ability to lift physical weights. The removal of mass from an object cannot exceed a half, as the ethyr refuses somehow, becoming 'slippery'. There exist ways to move higher proportions of mass from an object through interactions between this and other magic systems.

Potential-flavour ethyr can be found when an object falls. As the potential energy within it is converted to kinetic energy, it releases ethyr, almost as a waterfall of ethyric mist tracing the path where the falling object travelled. A mage can reach into this waterfall and draw it into themselves for use. It can be dumped back into the falling object to pause it mid fall, 'tricking' it into thinking it is at rest even though it is levitating; it can be used to slow a descent down, allowing a user to survive large falls; or it can be used to move things fall slower, faster, or even fall upwards until the power runs out.

 Tidal-flavour ethyr - linked to the moon somehow


🏋🏼‍♂️ - Mass (gravity etc)
   🪨 - Falling objects release ethyr. Connected to gravitational potential energy transferring to kinetic energy.

Alternatively, magic surges during high tide thanks to the effect of gravity on water. Perhaps slow motion vision (changing perception of reality to be quicker) could arrive the same effect through less preternatural means. More likely to be a light spell. Electric, even. - Seeing in slow motion could be achieved in a few ways: adjusting the flow of time for a bubble around you, speeding up your brain's processing to see and decide what to do quickly, or both. Would fit best within gravity due to the gravity time dilation effect, but light magic could help out as could electric to make the nerves/neurons faster. Muscles ca only move so fast, so the bubble would have to happen.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants.

{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable, as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as Celebri the Silver Moon [kɛ.'lɛb.ɾi] derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas Quelpor the Brass Moon ['kʷɛl.pɔr] derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term Heavenly Disc, even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, TRC IV, TRC V}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== TRC IV ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.</text>

    <text bytes="16526" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The Itzatecah calendar consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.

By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs ever eleven years in this calendar, and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two days between the final numbered day of Motli and before the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, differing by 0.090909. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.</text>

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs ever eleven years in this calendar, and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two days between the final numbered day of Motli and before the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, differing by 0.090909. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.</text>

 Idk name but chinese noble dude
 maybe he is the son of a female firstborn of an emperor, and thus is passed over for consideration and this infuriates him. Mum is upset too but he wants it for his case, not mums.
 also is sociopathic as he doesnt care about the value of a life, willing to sacrifice any number he considers lesser in order to further himself
 why does he want the power? it is his birthright - he was more worthy than the current emp (cousin)
 book 1 would thus be about the civil war he causes to try to usurp the throne to himself. Dance of the Dragons type ruination. Use ep 1 as the inspo for how to characterise properly!</text>

== Plot ==
Blood Cursed Dynasty
    Character idea, troubled past. Prove himself.
    Sociopathic tendencies.
    Setting idea, 
    Story idea, mitochondrial DNA 
    Gaining magic and taking over the kingdom
    Explain magic system ideas
    The endings, child legacy, and line of emperors
    Society shifting to matriarchy


Book one
   Warlord
   Gains magic, conquers empire
   Dynasty is secured, my blood will rule for a thousand years

Book two
   Son and daughter
   Civil war, gaining magic ritual reformed
   Penny drop, daughters children all have power

Book three
   Daughter's daughter
   Ending the civil war, subterfuge side plot
   Social change matriarchy etc


Book 1 - 
Main character
Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red.


== Characters ==
 Idk name but Chinese noble 
 maybe he is the son of a female firstborn of an emperor, and thus is passed over for consideration and this infuriates him. Mum is upset too but he wants it for his case, not mums.
 also is sociopathic as he doesnt care about the value of a life, willing to sacrifice any number he considers lesser in order to further himself
 why does he want the power? it is his birthright - he was more worthy than the current emp (cousin)
 book 1 would thus be about the civil war he causes to try to usurp the throne to himself. Dance of the Dragons type ruination. Use ep 1 as the inspo for how to characterise properly!
 willing to experiment with peoples lives in exchange for granting himself power. 
 Would perhaps find evidence of a magic ritual he can perform to himself Black Panther powers perhaps from a myaner ruined library or even from something disconnected from the domain that still has info on it - needs to acquire the secrets to finding out how to manipulate blood magic ethyr

Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red. 'the Bloodforged'? His son could be 'the Bloodcursed'?


=== Brainstorm ===
 Empire
 A or B plot? Politics - slowly gain allies, manipulative GoT level stuff. Magic powers for political legitimacy, enhance the whole chosen by heaven divine right to rule thing.
 Battles - defeat opponents into submission. maybe lose an engagement or two. Create campaign to play through?? Use magic powers to show off legitimacy and destroy rest of opposition 

 Ritual
 A or B plot? Idea - stealth stealing old books/scrolls, translating from some elvish. old temple? library? Would be prologue material, as it encapsulates the themes of mystery, high tension, arcane magics, politics, and maybe even dark themes of blood?
 Practice - experiments and research, really dive into unveiling the magic system here. Perhaps he tries something specific to target inheritance (to magically pass the power only onto his firstborn son) but he accidentally chooses the mitochondria. Maybe he says something specific like through this aspect of the ritual I can ensure that the power is only passed on to a worthy heir. "A worthy heir inherits by being the firstborn son." The book could include a line that translates to explaining heritability of mitochondrial DNA genes. He interprets this as the secret to determining who inherits. He accidentally makes it so that all children inherit but only females can pass it on themselves.
 Performing it - Set up for the ritual. Abducting many ppl needed. Finding people willing to participate as priests. Aftermath? Use powers on the battlefield. Final battle or before?

 Son
 C plot. Romance? Political marriage? Arc of the relationship? Would need to meet the girl early and then include throughout. Late game tension could be pregnancy, birth during a battle? If he was born during a battle then he could be marked for destiny - cursed by blood. Battleborn, Bloodcursed. Would have to have been conceived after the ritual, as he expected to have passed on that power to his firstborn son. 

 Theme:
 Action - fight scenes, battles, etc
 Politics - political maneuvering, interpersonal relationships manipulated to get the ritual to run
 Arcane Scholarship - experiments, research, magic theory explored. 

 Prologue:
 Themes of politics, action and arcane must be present. Stealing info from an old abandoned elven temple (maybe it's actually an elven library) and they ransack what is essentially a medical treatise on applications of blood magic's CRISPR tools. Translation, blood importance? Perhaps some elven guards are murdered callously? Very far from home. 

 Very far from home. sneaking through the forest to find the mythical tower of knowledge. turns out to just be an abandoned elf ruin. scouts report theyve noticed myaner guards, so its not fully abandoned. only three guards. (are actually caretakers/custodians/librarians of the ancient scrolls) we can take em. slits the throat of one himself, feels no remorse at all. is incapable of feeling remorse. Steals into the building, and begins to rifle through the books, strolls, and tablets. eventually finds a word he recognises (not on an entire category but on the spine of a book) that is the word for blood(?) (One way or another he needs to find a book in the medical/healing section that is relevant to using blood magic and using it to treat genetic diseases. (gene therapy textbook really), and he finds it useful). Sits down with a candle, getting blood on the wax, and sits to enjoy reading the book and tries translating it. prologue ends.
 this idea has violence, blood, set up for ritual, intro to arcane, elves, etc, but just needs to forshadow politics more i think. how to write a political thriller/game??

CHAR stepped carefully, avoiding cracking any twigs or crunching any leaves. It was difficult to avoid, as the forest floor was littered with it. Luckily, his soft scouts' moccasins helped to muffle the sound of his footfalls. He noticed a hand gesture from one of his scouts to his side, and took cover behind a tree. The scout picked his way over to him through the underbrush, remarkably proficient at avoiding any rustling of branches. 

"My lord, we've spotted the site," he whispered. Drifting through the mist-wreathed trees, the haunting song of a false phoenix cried out. The bird was rare in NORTHLANDAREANAME. An omen of destiny, indeed. They both paused, the scout's eyes holding onto his own firmly. *The signs are clear. This day will be auspicious, whether to mark our deaths, or the start of a new era,* they seemed to say. CHAR nodded firmly at the scout. *Let us begin.*

The scout pulled out an ivory whistle and puffed on it, creating the sound of a kukatoo. Hopefully any guards would not be able to tell the difference between a real call and one falsified with a whistle. Hopefully they would not realise it was the signal. CHAR could not still the worry in his heart that they would be able to tell. They were, afterall, immortal guardians of the wilderness. They had probably heard every bird call in the forest more times than he had heard another man speak. He noticed his jaw clenched in tension, but could not make himself unclench it. The scout had started moving forward, crouching low to the ground, with his dagger in hand, but still within the green scabbard. They had worried the keen eyes of the Dinray scouts might notice the gleaming of metal, and would only unsheathe steel at the last moment. CHAR steadied himself and followed. He was glad for his training as a warrior, for he knew well how difficult it was to move crouched this low to the ground while keeping his balance steady, let alone silently on the leaf litter. 

After a few moments, he noticed the forest ahead seemed to grow lighter. The clearing. They had done it at last. The Reticent Archive.
A place spoken of only in legend. CHAR felt like he was living one of the tales his wetnurse would tell him when he was but six. Tales of elves and dragons and the mysteries of the deep forests. *Perhaps there were truths to some of those fairy tales, then*, he mused, pressing himself flat against a tree and peering through a thick bush to lay eyes upon the structure built within the clearing. The architecture was obviously not Shimei. His people favoured spires of stone, with tall pyramid-like of cone-like roofs, but these, while undeniably ruins, were majestic. Pillars intertwined to create arches, serried vertically amidst vines and broken stone. Statues flanked an entranceway, hooded figures holding huge books to their chests. This truly was the place. The incredible knowledge it must hold within! The secrets of the ancients, the answers to magic! His eyes wide, his heart beating, he realised he had started to push aside a branch and stepped forward into the clearing. 

There was a blur of motion and something large blurred directly before him, thudding down into the ground, trailing cloth. CHAR whipped out his dagger, darting back in a panic, realising how badly his moment of weakness has ruined *everything*. Now he was going to die, impaled on the spear of a vengeful Dinray, all because he forgot to be stealthy at the sight of a fairy tale castle come true. 

The form at his feet did not rise.

Cautiously, he looked up, and saw one of his scouts standing above the entranceway in what appeared to be a watchpost, wiping the blood off his dagger with a small cloth. CHAR kneeled to turn the body over, exposing a young face, ink black eyes, and skin that looked like it had vitiligo. The throat was slit, and warm blood poured out, covering CHAR's glove. He dropped the body back on the floor distastefully, and shook the blood off his hand, spraying the grass with droplets of red. He nodded his thanks to the scout, and dagger raised, entered the ruin. The hallway was dark, but his eyes quickly adjusted. He quickly found a room after a few turns that was lit with gentle torchlight that didn't flicker like flames. There were two figures here, one behind a desk copying a book, and the other, a scholar by the looks of the glass eyepieces he wore, who was at a table organising a pile of books and scrolls. The latter looked up as he entered, opening his mouth to greet him before pausing in utter surprise at seeing him and not a fellow Dinray. 

"Man keriig?" The Dinray scholar shouted angrily, pushing his chair back from the table and standing, then his eyes widened as CHAR rushed forward and slammed his palm against his forehead, tilting his head back to expose his throat. "Baw, gi cho-" His angry words turned to a strangled choke as CHAR's dagger swiped out. CHAR dropped him backwards, ignoring the gurgling noises of the dying Dinray on the floor, only caring to not get blood on the scrolls. The other Dinray had backed up against the wall, then slipped out of the room. A cry of pain a moment later confirmed that the scouts had ensured his end too. 

CHAR stalked the hall, walking down a hallway between shelves of books and scrolls, looking for a glyph he might recognise. He had spent numerous political favours and considerable wealth trying to acquire old elven writings and had spent countless hours attempting to learn them. For all his efforts, he was only able to recognise occasional words here and there. Old Forlaam was a difficult language to read. After some searching, he finally came across a tome which had a glyph he recognised on the leather spine. 

By the time the scouts entered the room, they found him there, bloody gloves removed and beside him on the table, dagger stabbed point first into the wood. A worn parchment that served as a dictionary of sorts held in one hand, the pointer finger of the other following Forlaam glyphs with the other. His eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory. His mind entirely focused on the puzzle ahead.

This day will be auspicious, whether to mark our deaths, or the start of a new era,* they seemed to say. CHAR nodded firmly at the scout. *Let us begin.*

The scout pulled out an ivory whistle and puffed on it, creating the sound of a kukatoo. Hopefully any guards would not be able to tell the difference between a real call and one falsified with a whistle. Hopefully they would not realise it was the signal. CHAR could not still the worry in his heart that they would be able to tell. They were, afterall, immortal guardians of the wilderness. They had probably heard every bird call in the forest more times than he had heard another man speak. He noticed his jaw clenched in tension, but could not make himself unclench it. The scout had started moving forward, crouching low to the ground, with his dagger in hand, but still within the green scabbard. They had worried the keen eyes of the Dinray scouts might notice the gleaming of metal, and would only unsheathe steel at the last moment. CHAR steadied himself and followed. He was glad for his training as a warrior, for he knew well how difficult it was to move crouched this low to the ground while keeping his balance steady, let alone silently on the leaf litter. 

After a few moments, he noticed the forest ahead seemed to grow lighter. The clearing. They had done it at last. The Reticent Archive.
A place spoken of only in legend. CHAR felt like he was living one of the tales his wetnurse would tell him when he was but six. Tales of elves and dragons and the mysteries of the deep forests. *Perhaps there were truths to some of those fairy tales, then*, he mused, pressing himself flat against a tree and peering through a thick bush to lay eyes upon the structure built within the clearing. The architecture was obviously not Shimei. His people favoured spires of stone, with tall pyramid-like of cone-like roofs, but these, while undeniably ruins, were majestic. Pillars intertwined to create arches, serried vertically amidst vines and broken stone. Statues flanked an entranceway, hooded figures holding huge books to their chests. This truly was the place. The incredible knowledge it must hold within! The secrets of the ancients, the answers to magic! His eyes wide, his heart beating, he realised he had started to push aside a branch and stepped forward into the clearing. 

There was a blur of motion and something large blurred directly before him, thudding down into the ground, trailing cloth. CHAR whipped out his dagger, darting back in a panic, realising how badly his moment of weakness has ruined *everything*. Now he was going to die, impaled on the spear of a vengeful Dinray, all because he forgot to be stealthy at the sight of a fairy tale castle come true. 

The form at his feet did not rise.

Cautiously, he looked up, and saw one of his scouts standing above the entranceway in what appeared to be a watchpost, wiping the blood off his dagger with a small cloth. CHAR kneeled to turn the body over, exposing a young face, ink black eyes, and skin that looked like it had vitiligo. The throat was slit, and warm blood poured out, covering CHAR's glove. He dropped the body back on the floor distastefully, and shook the blood off his hand, spraying the grass with droplets of red. He nodded his thanks to the scout, and dagger raised, entered the ruin. The hallway was dark, but his eyes quickly adjusted. He quickly found a room after a few turns that was lit with gentle torchlight that didn't flicker like flames. There were two figures here, one behind a desk copying a book, and the other, a scholar by the looks of the glass eyepieces he wore, who was at a table organising a pile of books and scrolls. The latter looked up as he entered, opening his mouth to greet him before pausing in utter surprise at seeing him and not a fellow Dinray. 

"Man keriig?" The Dinray scholar shouted angrily, pushing his chair back from the table and standing, then his eyes widened as CHAR rushed forward and slammed his palm against his forehead, tilting his head back to expose his throat. "Baw, gi cho-" His angry words turned to a strangled choke as CHAR's dagger swiped out. CHAR dropped him backwards, ignoring the gurgling noises of the dying Dinray on the floor, only caring to not get blood on the scrolls. The other Dinray had backed up against the wall, then slipped out of the room. A cry of pain a moment later confirmed that the scouts had ensured his end too. 

CHAR stalked the hall, walking down a hallway between shelves of books and scrolls, looking for a glyph he might recognise. He had spent numerous political favours and considerable wealth trying to acquire old elven writings and had spent countless hours attempting to learn them. For all his efforts, he was only able to recognise occasional words here and there. Old Forlaam was a difficult language to read. After some searching, he finally came across a tome which had a glyph he recognised on the leather spine. 

By the time the scouts entered the room, they found him there, bloody gloves removed and beside him on the table, dagger stabbed point first into the wood. A worn parchment that served as a dictionary of sorts held in one hand, the pointer finger of the other following Forlaam glyphs with the other. His eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory. His mind entirely focused on the puzzle ahead.

== Characters ==
 Idk name but Chinese noble 
 maybe he is the son of a female firstborn of an emperor, and thus is passed over for consideration and this infuriates him. Mum is upset too but he wants it for his case, not mums.
 also is sociopathic as he doesnt care about the value of a life, willing to sacrifice any number he considers lesser in order to further himself
 why does he want the power? it is his birthright - he was more worthy than the current emp (cousin)
 book 1 would thus be about the civil war he causes to try to usurp the throne to himself. Dance of the Dragons type ruination. Use ep 1 as the inspo for how to characterise properly!
 willing to experiment with peoples lives in exchange for granting himself power. 
 Would perhaps find evidence of a magic ritual he can perform to himself Black Panther powers perhaps from a myaner ruined library or even from something disconnected from the domain that still has info on it - needs to acquire the secrets to finding out how to manipulate blood magic ethyr


 Need to have his mum in as well
 Family
 Cousin who is the emperor

== Setting ==
The setting of the story will be in the Great Empire of Shimeisuraiku, the 'Empire of Heaven'. This is an empire inspired by China, but with considerable other influences. I want it to feature aspects of central/east African culture such as Maasai, Khoi-San, and Basotho people, as well as German, from medieval beer taverns to efficiency in engineering. Ethnic groups - varied means the empire is more impressive but much harder and unstable, whereas all the same means I cannot have diversity and is too close to China. Medieval German culture, in a setting that looks Chinese in architecture. Dress inspired by local textile availability and what the workers need, and food determined by what is available in the region. 

Will work on a map of the region. Will feature multiple river basins around which civilisation could have developed:

Start with the region only, blur out the preliminary rough heightmap to reflect a gradient from high to low. Use the pregenerated heightmap to help add realism. 
Use the overlay images from Wonderdraft (in a folder) and Patreon (saved on Reddit) to find textures for mountains, and use reference images to determine scale to help with this step. 
Also use real life topographic maps to help create the area. Copy mountain regions where they are the same age/etc, copy flat plains etc, and stitch together manually with blurring and cloning. 

Then put the area in Wilbur to create a topographical map. Hopefully with a couple passes over with Wilbur it will all look realistic. 

Can then work on a proper atlas style map following Artifexian's guide for an atlas map, and use this as the definitive guide for the geography of the story, as well as helping narrow down where to worldbuild, where to place story setting locations, and even creating battlefields for wargaming through encounters from the book to help the realism/dream of interactability of the story.</text>

== Plot ==
Blood Cursed Dynasty
    Character idea, troubled past. Prove himself.
    Sociopathic tendencies.
    Setting idea, 
    Story idea, mitochondrial DNA 
    Gaining magic and taking over the kingdom
    Explain magic system ideas
    The endings, child legacy, and line of emperors
    Society shifting to matriarchy


Book one
   Warlord
   Gains magic, conquers empire
   Dynasty is secured, my blood will rule for a thousand years

Book two
   Son and daughter
   Civil war, gaining magic ritual reformed
   Penny drop, daughters children all have power

Book three
   Daughter's daughter
   Ending the civil war, subterfuge side plot
   Social change matriarchy etc


Book 1 - 
Main character
Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red. 'the Bloodforged'? His son could be 'the Bloodcursed'?


=== Brainstorm ===
 Empire
 A or B plot? Politics - slowly gain allies, manipulative GoT level stuff. Magic powers for political legitimacy, enhance the whole chosen by heaven divine right to rule thing.
 Battles - defeat opponents into submission. maybe lose an engagement or two. Create campaign to play through?? Use magic powers to show off legitimacy and destroy rest of opposition 

 Ritual
 A or B plot? Idea - stealth stealing old books/scrolls, translating from some elvish. old temple? library? Would be prologue material, as it encapsulates the themes of mystery, high tension, arcane magics, politics, and maybe even dark themes of blood?
 Practice - experiments and research, really dive into unveiling the magic system here. Perhaps he tries something specific to target inheritance (to magically pass the power only onto his firstborn son) but he accidentally chooses the mitochondria. Maybe he says something specific like through this aspect of the ritual I can ensure that the power is only passed on to a worthy heir. "A worthy heir inherits by being the firstborn son." The book could include a line that translates to explaining heritability of mitochondrial DNA genes. He interprets this as the secret to determining who inherits. He accidentally makes it so that all children inherit but only females can pass it on themselves.
 Performing it - Set up for the ritual. Abducting many ppl needed. Finding people willing to participate as priests. Aftermath? Use powers on the battlefield. Final battle or before?

 Son
 C plot. Romance? Political marriage? Arc of the relationship? Would need to meet the girl early and then include throughout. Late game tension could be pregnancy, birth during a battle? If he was born during a battle then he could be marked for destiny - cursed by blood. Battleborn, Bloodcursed. Would have to have been conceived after the ritual, as he expected to have passed on that power to his firstborn son. 

 Theme:
 Action - fight scenes, battles, etc
 Politics - political maneuvering, interpersonal relationships manipulated to get the ritual to run
 Arcane Scholarship - experiments, research, magic theory explored. 


==== Prologue ====
 Prologue:
 Themes of politics, action and arcane must be present. Stealing info from an old abandoned elven temple (maybe it's actually an elven library) and they ransack what is essentially a medical treatise on applications of blood magic's CRISPR tools. Translation, blood importance? Perhaps some elven guards are murdered callously? Very far from home. 

 Very far from home. sneaking through the forest to find the mythical tower of knowledge. turns out to just be an abandoned elf ruin. scouts report theyve noticed myaner guards, so its not fully abandoned. only three guards. (are actually caretakers/custodians/librarians of the ancient scrolls) we can take em. slits the throat of one himself, feels no remorse at all. is incapable of feeling remorse. Steals into the building, and begins to rifle through the books, strolls, and tablets. eventually finds a word he recognises (not on an entire category but on the spine of a book) that is the word for blood(?) (One way or another he needs to find a book in the medical/healing section that is relevant to using blood magic and using it to treat genetic diseases. (gene therapy textbook really), and he finds it useful). Sits down with a candle, getting blood on the wax, and sits to enjoy reading the book and tries translating it. prologue ends.
 this idea has violence, blood, set up for ritual, intro to arcane, elves, etc, but just needs to foreshadow politics more i think. how to write a political thriller/game??

Perhaps a date, to set the scene as to the time period? Starting in medias res.


CHAR stepped carefully, avoiding cracking any twigs or crunching any leaves. It was difficult to avoid, as the forest floor was littered with it. Luckily, his soft scouts' moccasins helped to muffle the sound of his footfalls. He noticed a hand gesture from one of his scouts to his side, and took cover behind a tree. The scout picked his way over to him through the underbrush, remarkably proficient at avoiding any rustling of branches. 

"My lord, we've spotted the site," he whispered. Drifting through the mist-wreathed trees, the haunting song of a false phoenix cried out. The bird was rare in NORTHLANDAREANAME. An omen of destiny, indeed. They both paused, the scout's eyes holding onto his own firmly. *The signs are clear.

    <text bytes="4772" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

More content to come.

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

 Time perception - when matured past second puberty, can see time flow both fast and slow at the same time. Useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something.
 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 17-25 years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 25-30 years of age. 


 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 8.23 = Terracil years
 Terracil 444.01 days per year

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

    <text bytes="7101" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, (just over half a year) and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 14-21 (17-25 EY) years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 21-25 (25-30) years of age. 

The onset of second puberty usually occurs at around the middle of the lifespan. This is often a period of a few years where the body goes through several physiological changes that 

Lastly, some myaner species experience another, third, puberty, which takes place sometime just before reaching the latter quarter or fifth of the lifespan. In this change, the myaner who do go through this see major reshufflings of their mental faculties and cognitive ability. 

 To do with being able to deal with a millennia's worth of memories? selective memory pruning? LOTR ROP Elrond vs Durin inspo? 
 Also ability to manipulate their own perception of time. Perhaps second puberty allows for the blurring of weeks and months into mere days, and the ability to fast forward time, and third puberty unlocks the ability to do both fast forward and slow-mo perception of time simultaneously. This would be useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something. Great for observations, and associated with advanced wisdom in their cultures. 


 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 0.823 = Terracil years (TY)
 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.823

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable, as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as Celebri the Silver Moon [kɛ.'lɛbː.ɾi] derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas Quelpor the Brass Moon ['kʷɛlː.pɔr] derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term Heavenly Disc, even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour.

A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable, as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as Celebri the Silver Moon [kɛ.'lɛbː.ɾi] derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas Quelpor the Brass Moon ['kʷɛlː.pɔr] derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term Heavenly Disc, even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour.

The NA is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield

* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
===== The desert belt =====
A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

Known as The Silver Moon, '''Celebri''' is the most common name for the closer of Terracil's two satellites. Its name derives from the Sindar term for silver, and was chosen for the moon's light grey to white colour and brightness in the night sky. Celebri's apparent size is nearly the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse.

Celebri's (as well as its sister moon, Quelpor's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

Known as The Silver Moon, '''Celebri''' is the most common name for the closer of Terracil's two satellites. Its name derives from the Sindar term for silver, and was chosen for the moon's light grey to white colour and brightness in the night sky. Celebri's apparent size is nearly the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse.

Celebri's (as well as its sister moon, Quelpor's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

== Names and Etymology ==

Its name derives from the Itzatecah term for brass, which is itself a loanword from a Germanic term gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold, and reflects moon's yellow-golden colour and high reflectiveness. Quelpor's apparent size is larger than that of the sun, allowing it to cover the sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse, and is also almost exactly the same apparent size as Celebri, making bilunar eclipses possible.

Gelbor originates from Germanic and French gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold. Melengri is an elven name for the moon goddess and its etymology is uncertain, but it is possible it is related to *malen or *malad, terms for gold in Sindarin. The origins of Shinchu and Geos are still unknown. It is possible that there is a link between Geos and the Greek term for earth, "gi" or the goddess "gaia". It is also possible there is a connection between Shinchu and an old Melinori term for brass, "insh".

The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

== Names and Etymology ==
The usual proper name for the moon is Quelpor, but in practice it is called the brass moon or even sometimes simply the moon when ambiguity is not a problem. Other names have been borrowed from different languages, such as Gelbor, Melengri, Shinchu, and Geos.

Gelbor originates from Germanic and French gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold. Melengri is an elven name for the moon goddess and its etymology is uncertain, but it is possible it is related to *malen or *malad, terms for gold in Sindarin. The origins of Shinchu and Geos are still unknown. It is possible that there is a link between Geos and the Greek term for earth, "gi" or the goddess "gaia". It is also possible there is a connection between Shinchu and an old Melinori term for brass, "insh".

Known as The Brass Moon, '''Quelpor''' is the most common name for the farther and more massive of Terracil's two natural satellites. Its name derives from the Itzatecah term for brass, which is itself a loanword from a Germanic term gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold, and reflects moon's yellow-golden colour and high reflectiveness. Quelpor's apparent size is larger than that of the sun, allowing it to cover the sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse, and is also almost exactly the same apparent size as Celebri, making bilunar eclipses possible.

Quelpor's (as well as its sister moon, Celebri's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

Known as The Brass Moon, '''Quelpor''' is the most common name given to the second of Terracil's two natural satellites. It orbits farther from Terracil than [[Celebri]], the other moon, does. Its name derives from the Itzatecah term for brass, which is itself a loanword from a Franco-Germanic term gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold, and reflects moon's yellow-golden colour and high reflectiveness. Quelpor's apparent size is larger than that of the sun, allowing it to cover the sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse, and is also almost exactly the same apparent size as Celebri, making bilunar eclipses possible.

Quelpor's (as well as its sister moon, Celebri's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

Gelbor originates from Germanic and French gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold. Melengri is an elven name for the moon goddess and its etymology is uncertain, but it is possible it is related to *malen or *malad, terms for gold in Sindarin. The moons are named for goddesses from myaner mythology [[Celebri (goddess)]] and [[Malengri (godddess)]] and the prevailing theories regarding their etymologies centre on the golden or silvery light they emit. 

The origins of Shinchu and Geos are still unknown. It is possible that there is a link between Geos and the Greek term for earth, "gi" or the goddess "gaia". It is also possible there is a connection between Shinchu and an old Melinori term for brass, "insh".

__TOC__

== Description ==
The rings often take the form of an arc across the sky. Depending on the time of day, the season and the latitude the viewer is located, the arc will change shapes from a semicircle to a thin band, and Terracil's shadow might fall on the rings. Terracil's shadow would look oval-shaped on its rings, and move as time goes by. The rim of this shadow would be blood-red, 

During the equinoxes, the sun lies on the same plane as the rings. At these times, at Terracil's middle latitudes, the planet's shadow appear to stretch across the rings to its greatest extent, plunging large portions of the rings into darkness. At the equator, the rings appear to divide the sun, casting a dramatic shadow over half the world.

The rings cause summers to be mildly warmer and winters to be mildly colder, do to casting a shadow and reflecting light back at the same time. 

== Legends ==
At temperate latitudes, one might imagine that the rings' appearance as an arch might symbolize a bridge between heaven and Earth.

Depending on the latitude and the season, the path of the sun may cross behind the rings. In such a case, the particles making up the rings scatter the sun's light, making it appear hazy or veiled. 
 "It's interesting to think what spiritual significance a civilization might ascribe to the sun going behind the rings."

 Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can see in sped up at the expense of needing extra rations later, whereas they can slow down their perception to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

== Manush ==
{{MainArticle|[[Manush]]|}} 

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

== History ==

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs of the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The valley was populated by homo erectus, and as that species spread out across the lands to the north and south they discovered new places to live. Over time these populations adapted further to their new lands and biomes and diverged, forming the many species of Manush, Myaner, and Drokha. The Manush population exhibited the greatest extent of physiological diversity from the diminutive ''cha''manush, to the tall and slender ''kha-ka''manush, to the heavily built ''w'ha''manush. These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech. 

The early Manush lived in bands of individuals from small families around 10 individuals as seen in ''w'ha''manush to larger tribes 50 strong  as seen in the tight-knit social structures of ''cha''manush. It is currently unknown how ethyr users were seen or how they were integrated into tribes, indeed if at all, and it likely differs greatly based on which of the ethyric arts were practised. It is likely that growth, fire, and solar light-ethyr were the most commonly used, as these would have been the most useful to neolithic hunter-gatherers to justify the extra resources required. It is likely around this time that wolves were domesticated into dogs and incorporated as part of a tribe to help with hunting.

== Types of Manush ==
The incredible diversity of manush subspecies can be categorised into seven broad groups. These are the ha, cha, w'ha, mana, mela, nala, and kha-ka manaas. 

===== Ha''manush'' =====
Ha''manush'' are the most populous species of human, and have more diversity than any other species of sapient people on the planet. On the whole, ha''manush'' are intelligent, built more gracile than most other manush species, and have an elbow joint adapted better to throwing items, an ability which has proved very helpful to their survival as winning combat at range helps avoid potentially fatal damage to their more fragile bodies. 

===== W'ha''manush'' =====
W'ha''manush'' are well adapted to cold environments and their bodies are more stockily built, allowing for better absorption of blunt forces. This makes them much more survivable in a fight against heavier prey or predator combat engagements. They also have more easily put on fat deposits which help them to maintain themselves in the cold. The w'ha are closely related to m'ha''manush'' and share many similarities.

== History ==

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs of the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The valley was populated by homo erectus, and as that species spread out across the lands to the north and south they discovered new places to live. Over time these populations adapted further to their new lands and biomes and diverged, forming the many species of Manush, Myaner, and Drokha. The Manush population exhibited the greatest extent of physiological diversity from the diminutive ''cha''manush, to the tall and slender ''kha-ka''manush, to the heavily built ''w'ha''manush. These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech. 

The early Manush lived in bands of individuals from small families around 10 individuals as seen in ''w'ha''manush to larger tribes 50 strong  as seen in the tight-knit social structures of ''cha''manush. It is currently unknown how ethyr users were seen or how they were integrated into tribes, indeed if at all, and it likely differs greatly based on which of the ethyric arts were practised. It is likely that growth, fire, and solar light-ethyr were the most commonly used, as these would have been the most useful to neolithic hunter-gatherers to justify the extra resources required. It is likely around this time that wolves were domesticated into dogs and incorporated as part of a tribe to help with hunting. 

It is theorised that the use of growth flavour light-ethyr was a major contributor to the agricultural revolution, as it would have been more convenient and beneficial for tribes to set up more permanently around food sources they could grow. However, due to limited lifespans, it is possible that these early farming communities fell apart and starved or otherwise abandoned agriculture once the druid/lifemage died.

=== Types of Manush ===
The incredible diversity of manush subspecies can be categorised into seven broad groups, listed below. It is possible for different subspecies to interbreed, albeit rarely, and these half-breeds usually are absorbed back into the populations of one of their parents, carrying with them some minor elements of a differing bloodline. 

One example of this is how in ha''manush'' populations, there are races who have m'ha''manush'' blood and display characteristics such as adaptations for living at altitudes, or having an easier time putting on fat as a result of  w'ha''manush'' heritage.

Manush can on very rare occasion interbreed with myaner or drokha. The vast majority of the time such couplings yield no offspring at all, but there have been historical incidences of half-breeds who are infertile. There is also theorised to be myaner blood within the k'ha''manush'', which is what contributes to their unique physique amongst manush, as well as their greater lifespans.

Ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and have puberty from 9-13, and are considered mature from anywhere between 14 to 17 years of age.

== Description ==
Manush are bipedal mammals, possessing two arms and legs, 5 fingers per hand of which one is a thumb, and plantigrade feet. They have hair over their entire bodies, but most of it is light and almost invisible aside from areas like the scalp, genital regions for physically mature individuals, or extra secondary sexual features on males such as beards or chest hair. There are great variances between different subspecies of manush in almost all aspects.

La''manush'' are usually shorter than ha'manush'', but are usually stronger. They are easily recognisable facially as they have a much greater proportion of the face dedicated to the lower jaw which juts out but does not have a protruding chin, highly prominent cheekbones, and the distinct broad forehead and brow ridge that they share with the w'ha and m'ha''manush''. 

M'ha''manush'' usually live to around 55-70 years old, and encounter puberty around their 11th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 12-14.

===== Sa''manush'' =====
Sa''manush'' can be recognised by a wide face, possessing large eyes and nose and a large mouth, in addition to the strong brow ridge. The forehead recedes and is topped by a generous head of hair whose strands are often thinner than other manush. 

Sa''manush'' usually live to around 70-90 years old, and encounter puberty between the ages of 9-13. They are considered mature from anywhere between 14-17 years of age.

===== K'ha''manush'' =====
K'ha''manush'' are the tallest species of manush, and are rather unique in many respects. They are tall and willowy, much more gracile than even ha''manush'', and have features that verge on childlike, with their large eyes and mostly hairless bodies. They are agile and light of build, and are capable of running great distances though they are not as good at throwing as ha''manush'' are. 

K'ha''manush'' are known to be highly long-lived, usually surviving to see their 120s or even 150s. They usually reach puberty around 14-16 years old, but depending on culture may not be considered full grown until they are 17 or even 25.

== History ==

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs of the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The valley was populated by homo erectus, and as that species spread out across the lands to the north and south they discovered new places to live. Over time these populations adapted further to their new lands and biomes and diverged, forming the many species of Manush, Myaner, and Drokha. The Manush population exhibited the greatest extent of physiological diversity from the diminutive ''cha''manush, to the tall and slender ''kha-ka''manush, to the heavily built ''w'ha''manush. These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech. 

The early Manush lived in bands of individuals from small families around 10 individuals as seen in ''w'ha''manush to larger tribes 50 strong  as seen in the tight-knit social structures of ''cha''manush. It is currently unknown how ethyr users were seen or how they were integrated into tribes, indeed if at all, and it likely differs greatly based on which of the ethyric arts were practised. It is likely that growth, fire, and solar light-ethyr were the most commonly used, as these would have been the most useful to neolithic hunter-gatherers to justify the extra resources required. It is likely around this time that wolves were domesticated into dogs and incorporated as part of a tribe to help with hunting. 

It is theorised that the use of growth flavour light-ethyr was a major contributor to the agricultural revolution, as it would have been more convenient and beneficial for tribes to set up more permanently around food sources they could grow. However, due to limited lifespans, it is possible that these early farming communities fell apart and starved or otherwise abandoned agriculture once the druid/lifemage died. If this is the case, knowledge of agriculture could have been widespread and merely needed the right time, place, and population for a spark to catch and remain past the death of a lifemage, or perhaps sheer luck and multiple lifemages were enough to kickstart this new means of life. Other theories name climate change and the lessening availability of food to hunter-gatherer peoples as the main reason people took to agriculture. 

Once Manush began to grow their own plants for food, and domesticating goats, pigs, sheep, and cattle, the population saw a quick rise, leading to urbanisation and higher-density populations. This gave rise to the first cities. Due to the division of labour required for farming crops, raising animals, and managing an urban environment, class stratification occurred across many of these urban centres. The leading class varied between cultures, however, as in some places it was kings and viziers who lead urban planning, priests who lead through faith, or mages who wielded power through the ethyr and their importance to the steadiness of the food supply, or even a mixture such as the priest-kings of Sumer or the Mage-Priests of Egypt. Most of these city-states were governed by a monarchy or a council of leaders in an oligarchy.

    <text bytes="4825" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Moonstone.jpg|350px|thumb|right|alt=A rectangular block of a pale yellow transparent stone.|Pale yellow moonstone is the most common type and can be found in blocks as large and as pure and transparent as this.]]

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone is transparent to opaque and may occasionally show phosphorescence or fluorescence. A transparent variety called sunstone is used for optical purposes.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone can be found in varying levels of opacity from almost completely transparent to fully opaque, and a vein may occasionally show phosphorescence or even fluorescence. One particular mostly transparent variety of pale moonstone is called sunstone and is often used for its optical properties of polarising light as it can be used to determine the sun's position even on a cloudy day to assist with navigation.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

    <text bytes="2514" xml:space="preserve">[[Copper]] is one of the base metals, with unique properties that have made it remarkably useful over the milennia. It has a pinkish-orange colour and may develop a green patina as it ages. The colour "copper" refers to a reddish brown. Copper is used to make up many alloys, from [[bronze]] to [[brass]], and even is mixed in with gold to change properties such as malleability, strength, and durability.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Copper is mostly used as an ingredient in alloys like bronze and brass, and is commonly used as a pure metal. Pure copper also has antimicrobial properties and is often used for medical tools or containers for water storage for this reason.

Copper is also commonly encountered in minerals such as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and imparts blue or green colours. These have been used widely and historically as pigments.

Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina). Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments. Copper compounds have been observed to help protect not just against against illness, but also funguses like mould and it is sometimes used to treat wood. 

Copper has major religious and spiritual significance for shamlek. In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin, replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates.

==History==

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early use by myaner in several regions, from circa 6,900 BP. It was the first metal to be smelted from ores, circa 6,600 BP; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mould, c. 6,400 BP; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 6,100 BP.

Drokha also began to use copper before the Old Ones. Some texts such as the Codex Primordialis mention the drokha and metallurgy in conjunction with the Old Ones, and other texts indicate that the drokha had begun to smelt copper circa 6,500 BP. Copper moulds have also been found dating to 6,200 BP. 

According the legend, manush did not use copper before the Old Ones, but also began to make use of it by 6,500 BP, inventing bronze for themselves by 5,500 BP at the latest. It is probably that manush learned some secrets of metalworking from the drokha, explaining the long-standing association mankind have between metallurgy and the drokha.</text>

__TOC__

==Uses==
Copper is mostly used as an ingredient in alloys like bronze and brass, and is commonly used as a pure metal. Pure copper also has antimicrobial properties and is often used for medical tools or containers for water storage for this reason.

Copper is also commonly encountered in minerals such as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and imparts blue or green colours. These have been used widely and historically as pigments.

Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina). Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments. Copper compounds have been observed to help protect not just against against illness, but also funguses like mould and it is sometimes used to treat wood. 

Copper has major religious and spiritual significance for shamlek. In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin, replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates.

==History==

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early use by myaner in several regions, from circa 6,900 BP. It was the first metal to be smelted from ores, circa 6,600 BP; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mould, c. 6,400 BP; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 6,100 BP.

Drokha also began to use copper before the Old Ones. Some texts such as the Codex Primordialis mention the drokha and metallurgy in conjunction with the Old Ones, and other texts indicate that the drokha had begun to smelt copper circa 6,500 BP. Copper moulds have also been found dating to 6,200 BP. 

According the legend, manush did not use copper before the Old Ones, but also began to make use of it by 6,500 BP, inventing bronze for themselves by 5,500 BP at the latest. It is probably that manush learned some secrets of metalworking from the drokha, explaining the long-standing association mankind have between metallurgy and the drokha.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Diamonds are sometimes used as jewellery. Their sparkle has caused them to be favoured by some myaner, as they resemble the twinkling of stars. 

==History==
In myaner tongues, diamond is usually etymologically related to stars, and in culture often represent the stars themselves. Many myths refer to the stars in the heavens as diamonds set within a great cosmic dome, through which the radiance of the God Beyond the Heavens is let through to shine down upon the peoples of Terracil.

Mica is common in igneous and metamorphic rock and is occasionally found as small flakes in sedimentary rock. It is particularly prominent in many granites, pegmatites, and schists, and "books" (large individual crystals) of mica several feet across have been found.

__TOC__

==Uses==
===Construction===
Ground mica has been used in plaster coatings to buildings as it improves the workability and consistency, acts as a filler, and provides resistance to cracking. Ancient myaner structures are often found in better condition than they should for their age due to these preservational properties. These structures are also distinctive due to the inclusion of silvery mica powder into the surface layer of cement which results in the appearance of being composed of a material somewhere between metal and rock. 

===Aesthetics===
In paints, ground mica is used as it helps with many properties useful for paints such as colour suspension and reducing chalking and additionally increases the resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering and brightens the tone of coloured pigments. 

The mineral is used in makeup and other cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost." 

Mica flakes are also used in high myaner society to embellish women's summer clothes, especially the long light-weight colourful scarves worn by nobility, matching the dress and house colours. Thin mica flakes are added to a hot starch water solution, and the scarf or dress is dipped in this water mixture for 3–5 minutes. Then it is hung to air dry. The resultant cloth develops a shimmer that catches the light.

==History==
Use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to many ancient civilisations, from manush and myaner to melinorati and shamlek.

The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created around 40,000 years ago. The first hues were red (iron oxide, hematite, or red ochre) and black (manganese dioxide, pyrolusite), though black from juniper or pine carbons has also been discovered. White from kaolin or mica was used occasionally.

The Itzatecah Pyramid of the Sun contains considerable amounts of mica in layers up to a foot thick.

Natural mica is also used to make pottery. The pottery is made from weathered mica, and has flecks of mica throughout the vessels. Some pottery is made by coating the clay with mica to provide a dense, glittery micaceous finish over the entire object.

Fine mica can be added to coloured powders to create a sparkling effect when thrown in the air during the Festival of Colours. 

It is common for myaner noble ladies to wear dresses (ranging from white or pearl to pale tans or creams and that have been treated with mica flakes) under colourful transparent shawls or scarfs to tint the dress to their house colour. In some cultures, this can represent the house colours they have married into, and can even be an aspect of marriage ceremonies. 

Wet-ground mica was included in the paint used on the personal war-chariot of the melinorati king Ai-Mukrushu and resulted in a pearlescent purple that shifted between reddish or bluish depending on the light, and was seen as proof of his divine right of rule, invoking the goddess Etchi-Sheli.

In paints, ground mica is used as it helps with many properties useful for paints such as colour suspension and reducing chalking and additionally increases the resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering and brightens the tone of coloured pigments. 

The mineral is used in makeup and other cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost." 

Mica flakes are also used in high myaner society to embellish women's summer clothes, especially the long light-weight colourful scarves worn by nobility, matching the dress and house colours. Thin mica flakes are added to a hot starch water solution, and the scarf or dress is dipped in this water mixture for 3–5 minutes. Then it is hung to air dry. The resultant cloth develops a shimmer that catches the light.

==History==
Use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to many ancient civilisations, from manush and myaner to melinorati and shamlek.

The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created around 40,000 years ago. The first hues were red (iron oxide, hematite, or red ochre) and black (manganese dioxide, pyrolusite), though black from juniper or pine carbons has also been discovered. White from kaolin or mica was used occasionally.

The Itzatecah Pyramid of the Sun contains considerable amounts of mica in layers up to a foot thick.

Natural mica is also used to make pottery. The pottery is made from weathered mica, and has flecks of mica throughout the vessels. Some pottery is made by coating the clay with mica to provide a dense, glittery micaceous finish over the entire object.

Fine mica can be added to coloured powders to create a sparkling effect when thrown in the air during the Festival of Colours. 

It is common for myaner noble ladies to wear dresses (ranging from white or pearl to pale tans or creams and that have been treated with mica flakes) under colourful transparent shawls or scarfs to tint the dress to their house colour. In some cultures, this can represent the house colours they have married into, and can even be an aspect of marriage ceremonies. 

Wet-ground mica was included in the paint used on the personal war-chariot of the melinorati king Ai-Mukrushu and resulted in a pearlescent purple that shifted between reddish or bluish depending on the light, and was seen as proof of his divine right of rule, invoking the goddess Etchi-Sheli.

Micas are a group of minerals known for their flakiness and glittery shimmer. Mica is common in igneous and metamorphic rock and is occasionally found as small flakes in sedimentary rock. It is particularly prominent in many granites, pegmatites, and schists, and "books" (large individual crystals) of mica several feet across have been found.

Ground mica has been used in plaster coatings to buildings as it improves the workability and consistency, acts as a filler, and provides resistance to cracking. Ancient myaner structures are often found in better condition than they should for their age due to these preservational properties.

Micas are a group of minerals known for their flakiness and glittery shimmer. Mica is common in igneous and metamorphic rock and is occasionally found as small flakes in sedimentary rock. It is particularly prominent in many granites, pegmatites, and schists, and "books" (large individual crystals) of mica several feet across have been found.

Micas are used in products such as cements, paints, cosmetics, and pottery. The mineral is used in cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost."

Ground mica has been used in plaster coatings to buildings as it improves the workability and consistency, acts as a filler, and provides resistance to cracking. Ancient myaner structures are often found in better condition than they should for their age due to these preservational properties. These structures are also distinctive due to the inclusion of silvery mica powder into the surface layer of cement which results in the appearance of being composed of a material somewhere between metal and rock. 

Ancient myaner architects also made use of a unique type of fungus that when mixed into the cement would heal the structure is fracks began to develop. This also would release small amounts of [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]].

===Aesthetics===
In paints, ground mica is used as it helps with many properties useful for paints such as colour suspension and reducing chalking and additionally increases the resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering and brightens the tone of coloured pigments. 

The mineral is used in makeup and other cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost." 

Mica flakes are also used in high myaner society to embellish women's summer clothes, especially the long light-weight colourful scarves worn by nobility, matching the dress and house colours. Thin mica flakes are added to a hot starch water solution, and the scarf or dress is dipped in this water mixture for 3–5 minutes. Then it is hung to air dry. The resultant cloth develops a shimmer that catches the light.

==History==
Use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to many ancient civilisations, from manush and myaner to melinorati and shamlek.

The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created around 40,000 years ago. The first hues were red (iron oxide, hematite, or red ochre) and black (manganese dioxide, pyrolusite), though black from juniper or pine carbons has also been discovered. White from kaolin or mica was used occasionally.

The Itzatecah Pyramid of the Sun contains considerable amounts of mica in layers up to a foot thick.

Natural mica is also used to make pottery. The pottery is made from weathered mica, and has flecks of mica throughout the vessels. Some pottery is made by coating the clay with mica to provide a dense, glittery micaceous finish over the entire object.

Fine mica can be added to coloured powders to create a sparkling effect when thrown in the air during the Festival of Colours. 

It is common for myaner noble ladies to wear dresses (ranging from white or pearl to pale tans or creams and that have been treated with mica flakes) under colourful transparent shawls or scarfs to tint the dress to their house colour. In some cultures, this can represent the house colours they have married into, and can even be an aspect of marriage ceremonies. 

Wet-ground mica was included in the paint used on the personal war-chariot of the melinorati king Ai-Mukrushu and resulted in a pearlescent purple that shifted between reddish or bluish depending on the light, and was seen as proof of his divine right of rule, invoking the goddess Etchi-Sheli.

===Construction===
Ground mica has been used in plaster coatings to buildings as it improves the workability and consistency, acts as a filler, and provides resistance to cracking. Ancient myaner structures are often found in better condition than they should for their age due to these preservational properties. These structures are also distinctive due to the inclusion of silvery mica powder into the surface layer of cement which results in the appearance of being composed of a material somewhere between metal and rock. 

Ancient myaner architects also made use of a unique type of fungus that when mixed into the cement would heal the structure is fracks began to develop. This also would release small amounts of [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]].

===Aesthetics===
In paints, ground mica is used as it helps with many properties useful for paints such as colour suspension and reducing chalking and additionally increases the resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering and brightens the tone of coloured pigments. 

The mineral is used in makeup and other cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost." 

Mica flakes are also used in high myaner society to embellish women's summer clothes, especially the long light-weight colourful scarves worn by nobility, matching the dress and house colours. Thin mica flakes are added to a hot starch water solution, and the scarf or dress is dipped in this water mixture for 3–5 minutes. Then it is hung to air dry. The resultant cloth develops a shimmer that catches the light.

==History==
Use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to many ancient civilisations, from manush and myaner to melinorati and shamlek.

The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created around 40,000 years ago. The first hues were red (iron oxide, hematite, or red ochre) and black (manganese dioxide, pyrolusite), though black from juniper or pine carbons has also been discovered. White from kaolin or mica was used occasionally.

The Itzatecah Pyramid of the Sun contains considerable amounts of mica in layers up to a foot thick.

Natural mica is also used to make pottery. The pottery is made from weathered mica, and has flecks of mica throughout the vessels. Some pottery is made by coating the clay with mica to provide a dense, glittery micaceous finish over the entire object.

Fine mica can be added to coloured powders to create a sparkling effect when thrown in the air during the Festival of Colours. 

It is common for myaner noble ladies to wear dresses (ranging from white or pearl to pale tans or creams and that have been treated with mica flakes) under colourful transparent shawls or scarfs to tint the dress to their house colour. In some cultures, this can represent the house colours they have married into, and can even be an aspect of marriage ceremonies. 

Wet-ground mica was included in the paint used on the personal war-chariot of the melinorati king Ai-Mukrushu and resulted in a pearlescent purple that shifted between reddish or bluish depending on the light, and was seen as proof of his divine right of rule, invoking the goddess Etchi-Sheli.

    <text bytes="2443" xml:space="preserve">[[Gold]] is a precious metal that has been used for [[Currency|coinage]], ornamentation, and other arts throughout recorded history. In many places, a gold standard serves as the basis of monetary policy instead of [[silver]]. Gold can be found naturally as nuggets, veins or wires of gold in a rock matrix, or fine grains of gold, mixed in with sediments or bound within rock. 

Gold is known for its lustrous red-yellow colour and thus gold as a colour can refer to anything from yellows or blonde hair, to even browns and ochres. Gold is often mixed with copper to create alloys of varying fineness in order to prioritise certain properties such as malleability, strength or durability. Objects can be gilded, giving them a thin coating of gold, and extremely thin gold foil can be wrapped around thread to form cloth-of-gold fabrics. 

__TOC__

==Uses==
Gold is considered one of the most precious natural metals alongside [[silver]] and as such it is used mostly in the present day as currency. Linguistically, it represents wealth, yellow, shining radiance, or beauty. 

==History==
Gold was the first metal to ever be used by the people of Terracil. Small amounts of gold have been recovered from caves dating back to at least 45,000 years before the present. 

The oldest golden artefacts are around 6,800 years old. The oldest myaner stamped coins were created around 5,400 BP.

In many places, a silver standard serves as the basis of monetary policy instead of [[gold]]. Silver can be found naturally as wires or veins in a rock matrix, as an alloy with gold or other metals, or as ore in rocks. 

Silver has long been valued as a precious metal. While it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. Silver exhibits the highest conductivity and reflectivity of any metal, and is used to make expensive mirrors and is being researched as a way to conduct ethyr. 

Silver is known for its lustrous whiteness and is associated with the moon [[Argenti]]. The colour silver (or term silvery) can refer to white, light grey, or even light metallic colours such as the colours of [[vitalium]] or aluminium.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Silver is used for coins, to make mirrors, and more recently has been experimented as a possible way to conduct [[ethyr]], but this seems to be limited to [[Light-Ethyr|light]] and [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ethyr]].

Due to silver's higher reactivity than gold it has been primarily used as currency. In some areas of the world it is scarcer than gold and is valued higher, but the majority of the present day world considers gold to be of higher value than silver due to millennia of silver mining producing great quantities of it. 

The myaner often prize silver alongside [[Diamond|diamonds]] as representations of adamant, the mythical material the stars are made of. 

==History==
Silver was discovered in prehistoric times and the exact date of its first use is unknown, but it is estimated that it would have been first used around the same time as gold, and the oldest silver artefacts date from around 6,700 BP.

Orichalcum is very rare and is usually valued as more expensive than gold, but in some regions it is more abundant and becomes less valuable than gold, dropping to around half the value sometimes. 

Orichalcum is known for its rarity and lustrous whiteness and is associated with the silver. It is considered to be related to silver, [[vitalium]], and aluminium. It is considered a noble metal alongside gold and usually silver as it is so unreactive. 

__TOC__

==Uses==
Orichalcum is sometimes found as a white gold-orichalcum alloy in artefacts or in coins. Pure orichalcum coins are very rare but some attested examples are known of. 

==History==
Orichalcum was used as an alloy with gold as far back as 3,200 BP but it is possible this was accidental. It was mined and worked into an alloy with gold around 2,000 BP.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, TRC IV, TRC V}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.</text>

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.</text>

Known as The Silver Moon, '''Celebri''' is the most common name for the closer of Terracil's two satellites. Its name derives from the Sindar term for silver, and was chosen for the moon's light grey to white colour and brightness in the night sky. Celebri's apparent size is nearly the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse.

Celebri's (as well as its sister moon, Quelpor's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

__TOC__

== Names and Etymology ==
The usual proper name for the moon is Celebri, but in practice it is called the silver moon or even simply the moon often. Other names have been borrowed from different languages, such as Argenti, Goun and Argene.

    <text bytes="6114" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Moonstone.jpg|350px|thumb|right|alt=A rectangular block of a pale yellow transparent stone.|Pale yellow moonstone is the most common type and can be found in blocks as large, pure, and transparent as this.]]

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone can be found in varying levels of opacity from almost completely transparent to fully opaque, and a vein may occasionally show phosphorescence or even fluorescence. One particular mostly transparent variety of pale moonstone is called sunstone and is often used for its optical properties of polarising light as it can be used to determine the sun's position even on a cloudy day to assist with navigation.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

    <text bytes="9912" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost like they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour lighter, at around 2 kg without the straps.

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the ward shield. This causes the rest of the energy of the ward to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the ward shield can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.


 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, such a wager tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, and doing it alone can be very slow though possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before or after the arming doublet is donned.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, such a wager tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, and doing it alone can be very slow though possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before or after the arming doublet is donned.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

    <text bytes="10015" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday.

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost like they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour lighter, at around 2 kg without the straps.

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the ward shield. This causes the rest of the energy of the ward to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the ward shield can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.


 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate?

On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, just the threat of a wager for it tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, Doing it alone can be very slow, though still possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before the arming doublet is donned or after it is removed.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

    <text bytes="7140" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, (just over half a year) and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 14-21 (17-25 EY) years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 21-25 (25-30) years of age. 

The onset of second puberty usually occurs at around the middle of the lifespan. This is often a period of a few years where the body goes through several physiological changes that 

Lastly, some myaner species experience another, third, puberty, which takes place sometime just before reaching the latter quarter or fifth of the lifespan. In this change, the myaner who do go through this see major reshufflings of their mental faculties and cognitive ability. 

 To do with being able to deal with a millennia's worth of memories? selective memory pruning? LOTR ROP Elrond vs Durin inspo? 
 Also ability to manipulate their own perception of time. Perhaps second puberty allows for the blurring of weeks and months into mere days, and the ability to fast forward time, and third puberty unlocks the ability to do both fast forward and slow-mo perception of time simultaneously. This would be useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something. Great for observations, and associated with advanced wisdom in their cultures. 


 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 0.823 = Terracil years (TY)
 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.823

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

    <text bytes="5723" xml:space="preserve">'''Elfweave''' is a strong silk-like textile made from synthetic fibres. Rare and expensive, it can only be made in certain [[Sicai]] [[Crafttown|crafttowns]] on the coast. These fibres have a variety of applications from strings that can sustain high tension or be made into sturdy ropes, to weaved textiles such as silken clothing for high nobility or exceptionally durable padded arming doublets. 

__TOC__

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Kelp.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Kelp growing underwater with fish swimming through it.|Kelp is a vital ingredient for the synthesis of elfweave]]

Elfweave was discovered by sicai [[myaner]] circa xxx in a fishing village built around a crafttown. The exact circumstances of the discovery are not known, but what can be gleaned from the limited sources available suggests highly skilled craftsmen were involved in an experiment including crab shells and a particular variety of brown kelp. 

Modern manufacture of elfweave involves using advanced grinding techniques to turn purified and treated crab shell into the finest of powders. A type of gum is extracted from the kelp after multiple steps, and once mixed with water, the crab shell powder is added. The resultant mixture displays intriguing properties, as it can be pulled out and spun into yarn, and in the hands of incredibly skilled weavers, can be made into a fine silk-like thread. This can then be set in a saltwater bath which solidifies the string and gives it great strength. Though the ingredients are cheap, the process is labour intensive to produce the yarn, and the necessity of a crafttown's resources and a highly skilled weaver means the silk threads are incredibly expensive.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

== Uses of Elfweave ==
The spun fibres have many applications. The rough grade yarn can be made into tough ropes or heavy duty netting or fishing lines, as benefits the coastal community where such goods can be made. The medium fine grades also weave well into ropes, whereas the finer grades have more varied uses. Due to the expense, the silk-like fibres have become a status symbol in fashion, being used to form a variety of sheer skin-tight clothing from silken elfweave as well as varieties of water-resistant clothing. When the fibres are woven into a fabric, it is known as elfweave.

The strength of elfweave was noted and compared to that of spider-silk. When combined with spider-silk, elfweave fibres can be made into lightweight and incredible durable basketweave cloth that can be layered many times without adding too much thickness. A gambeson made from this variety of elfweave can be almost a third as thick and many times more protective, even imparting resistance to piercing weapons. 

=== Elfweave Gambesons ===
Due to the importance of such highly defensive materials, many Master Warriors make deals with sicai crafttowns to buy elfweave gambesons. These military-grade gambesons are manufactures specially to conform to the varying demands of the Master Warriors and the needs. Gambesons can be purchased to look like stylish uniforms, so that a commander can look the part while not miss out on protective armour, and to avoid the bulky feel of normal linen ones. Such suits are often dyed to match house colours or Warrior ranks or designations. Alternatively, elfweave arming doublets stretch from hood to heel and come with inbuilt straps to fit the varying parts of platemaille to. Such under armour weaves can vary wildly in colour as per the purchaser's specifications.

==== Ethyrmaille ====
The most famous use, however, is certainly the arming doublets specifically designed to fit with [[Ethyrmaille|ethyrmaille]]. These are thick, usually dyed black to avoid detracting from the spectacle that is a suit of ethyrmaille, and cover the myaner from the hood to the toes. As such these must tailored for specific individuals and have to be woven with care to ensure a perfect fit. Reinforced with elastic rubber fibres to form into a stretchy material, an opening in the chest allows the myaner to step into the legs, pull the arms and head over, before finally tying the opening closed. The arms end in gloves that can be partly detached if needed, hanging from the wrist. 

Further padding is usually added to regions such as the chest or head that require more protection from percussive blows. Every surface of the doublet is covered in attachment points for ethyrmaille, from the arms and legs to even special glove straps to attach the individually shaped plates for the joints of the fingers. The glove means a wearer is practically immune to the dangers of half-swording as the slash-resistant nature of elfweave prevents the hands from being cut even when grappling with the sharp end of a sword. If the ethyrmaille cannot cover a part of the body, such as the armpit or groin, chainmaille gussets could be woven into the doublet in these locations as a layer or hung on to act as a skirt. 

This makes every elfweave gambeson a unique piece of exquisite craftsmanship, from the shape suited to an individual's form, unique arrangements of extra padding and armour, and colours dyed into the weave. All in all this makes anyone who wears it not only a remarkable sight, but very hard to kill, and the incredible synergies with ethyrmaille solidifies the common idea that elfweave was divinely made for it.

    <text bytes="1947" xml:space="preserve">Acorn bread, also known as Elfbread, is the staple crop for many [[myaner]] across [[Terracil]]. Baked from a dough made with ground acorns, it can be made into leavened or unleavened loafs, as well as a variety of other applications such as boiled in making dumplings, or fried to make doughnuts.

[[File:Acorn-bread.png|400px|thumb|right|alt=A loaf of smooth grained brown bread, sliced.|A loaf of acorn bread, sliced and with a slab of butter, representing a common cheap meal for sustenance.]]

Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire region, as it could be farmed within the oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops. Furthermore as steadily growing and large plant life, these forest-farms were a perfect fit for the lifestyle of the [[Eytor]] people both as a source of [[life magic]] as well as being the trees they had lived under for millennia. 

Houses could be built into the very trees that provided their food, as well as providing cover that the Eytor exploited with their coordinated hunting methods. This also prompted advancements in grafting and other concepts, allowing the eytor who lived there to become among the forefront of the world when it came to horticultural knowledge. It is common to see forests of oaks cultivated to provide the best yields of acorns suited to being ground to flour, as well as grafting other fruits and spices to the trees to supplement the diet and for convenience.

Acorn bread is remarkably nourishing, despite most [[manush]] dismissing it as edible but not good enough to be a staple crop. To the present, it still is the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can be passed through by trespassers without them even knowing.

    <text bytes="2059" xml:space="preserve">'''The Golden Disc''' is the term given to [[Terracil]]'s ring system, which is often visible from the ground as an immense golden disc like some celestial rainbow. It has inspired countless legends, and been the source of much wanderlust. In fact, most legends relating to it involve some aspect of journeying beyond the horizon searching to find the base of the Disc, or some variation of a shield, pillar, or warding arm held up by the earth to protect its inhabitants. 

__TOC__

== Description ==
The rings often take the form of an arc across the sky. Depending on the time of day, the season and the latitude the viewer is located, the arc will change shapes from a semicircle to a thin band, and Terracil's shadow might fall on the rings. Terracil's shadow would look oval-shaped on its rings, and move as time goes by. The rim of this shadow would be blood-red, 

During the equinoxes, the sun lies on the same plane as the rings. At these times, at Terracil's middle latitudes, the planet's shadow appear to stretch across the rings to its greatest extent, plunging large portions of the rings into darkness. At the equator, the rings appear to divide the sun, casting a dramatic shadow over half the world.

The rings cause summers to be mildly warmer and winters to be mildly colder, do to casting a shadow and reflecting light back at the same time. 

== Legends ==
At temperate latitudes, one might imagine that the rings' appearance as an arch might symbolize a bridge between heaven and Earth.

Depending on the latitude and the season, the path of the sun may cross behind the rings. In such a case, the particles making up the rings scatter the sun's light, making it appear hazy or veiled. 
 "It's interesting to think what spiritual significance a civilization might ascribe to the sun going behind the rings."

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable, as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as Celebri the Silver Moon [kɛ.'lɛbː.ɾi] derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas Quelpor the Brass Moon ['kʷɛlː.pɔr] derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term Heavenly Disc, even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour.

==== NA ====
The NA is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== Meli ====
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
===== The desert belt =====
A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

==== NA ====
The NA is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
===== The desert belt =====
A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of solar calendars, one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the Solar System, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in visible light.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Known as The Brass Moon, '''Quelpor''' is the most common name given to the second of Terracil's two natural satellites. It orbits farther from Terracil than [[Celebri]], the other moon, does. Its name derives from the Itzatecah term for brass, which is itself a loanword from a Franco-Germanic term gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold, and reflects moon's yellow-golden colour and high reflectiveness. Quelpor's apparent size is larger than that of the sun, allowing it to cover the sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse, and is also almost exactly the same apparent size as Celebri, making bilunar eclipses possible.

Quelpor's (as well as its sister moon, Celebri's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

__TOC__

== Names and Etymology ==
The usual proper name for the moon is Quelpor, but in practice it is called the brass moon or even sometimes referred to simply as 'the moon' when ambiguity is not a problem. Other names have been borrowed from different languages, such as Gelbor, Melengri, Shinchu, and Geos.

Gelbor originates from Germanic and French gelb-or, meaning yellow-gold. Melengri is an elven name for the moon goddess and its etymology is uncertain, but it is possible it is related to *malen or *malad, terms for gold in Sindarin. The moons are named for goddesses from myaner mythology [[Celebri (goddess)]] and [[Malengri (godddess)]] and the prevailing theories regarding their etymologies centre on the golden or silvery light they emit. 

The origins of Shinchu and Geos are still unknown. It is possible that there is a link between Geos and the Greek term for earth, "gi" or the goddess "gaia". It is also possible there is a connection between Shinchu and an old Melinori term for brass, "insh".

    <text bytes="15521" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is what all Terracil magic systems use to function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythir.

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="15736" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{{columns|count=4|
* '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
* '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' &lt;small&gt;●&lt;/small&gt;
}}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

    <text bytes="7066" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field's]] interactions with electromagnetic fields is known as '''light-ethyr'''. Not all electromagnetic interactions perturb the ethyric field, and the ones that do all do so differently. Of these, there exist a few key subdivisions for ease of categorisation for people. 

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Chemical 
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

Fire 
 RETHINK THIS

Growth 
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

Water 
 Phase changes

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

 electricity and magnetism in harmony

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

=== Magnetic ===
 magnetic magic spells and uses

=== Chemical flavours ===
==== Chemical ====
 Cold pack ethyr batteries?
 chemistry spells and uses
 Need to think about. Perhaps manipulate bonds and use to create substances? Soulcasting??? Use to purify substances? Allow easier access to things like magnesia, or pure metals, or even to manipulate structures for transparent metal etc.
 

==== Blood ====
Blood magic is the 

 Perhaps the first instance of "blood magic" may have been from someone noticing that when a person died in a cave with a fire (through CO poisoning), their blood glowed faintly with red ethyr. Maybe a bowl of blood from a sacrifice next to a fire started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it.
 What would that ethyr be used for??
 Blood magic ethyr is used for gene manipulation. Can be used in future eras to directly change genes (replace CRISPR) but in earlier eras it is more random, ranging from imbuing powers (like Black Panther) to increasing attributes such as strength etc. Can be used to do Spartan augmentations.

=== Fire ===
 firebending

=== Solar ===
 light magic spells and uses
 lightweaving illusions
 blocking light in an area - permanent shadows? eg shadowed face
 shadowmancy?
 invisibility cloaks?
 light flashes, flares, flashbangs, etc
 laser?
 heating/warming/searing?
 summoning hardlight

=== Growth ===
 healing spells, simple to complex
 growth uses in nature for trees
 growth uses for creating vines etc
 healing naturally used by elven physiology

=== Water ===
 melting and boiling/freezing and condensing water spells and uses

=== Electric ===
 electricity spells and uses

==Uses==
Vitalium salts have been claimed to soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are traded widely by healer guilds to incorporate into bandages or poultices, as well as researched by mages who can use [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]]

==History==
A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

[[Vitalium]] is a shiny grey metal that is much lighter than iron. This metal is not suitable for most uses when pure, as it is brittle and slowly withers away when exposed to water, as well as being dangerously flammable. Vitalium burns with a blinding white light.

It is often mixed with electricium to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Vitalium salts have been claimed to soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are traded widely by healer guilds to incorporate into bandages or poultices, as well as researched by mages who can use [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]]. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

==History==
A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

Despite its high rarity, it has not been adopted as coinage anywhere due to both its irregular supply as well as its properties that make it less long-lasting than the usual coinage metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], or [[orichalcum]]. Although it is perfectly durable when alloyed with metals such as electricium, it is hard to work with which means it is usually left to the alchemist-forgers who have special techniques for working it into usable shapes and not minted into coins. 

This being said, it is sometimes formed into uniform ingots for transport or trade.

[[Copper]] is one of the base metals, with unique properties that have made it remarkably useful over the milennia. It has a pinkish-orange colour and may develop a green patina as it ages. The colour "copper" refers to a reddish brown. Copper is used to make up many alloys, from [[bronze]] to [[brass]], and even is mixed in with gold to change properties such as malleability, strength, and durability.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Copper is mostly used as an ingredient in alloys like bronze and brass, and is commonly used as a pure metal. Pure copper also has antimicrobial properties and is often used for medical tools or containers for water storage for this reason.

Copper is also commonly encountered in minerals such as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and imparts blue or green colours. These have been used widely and historically as pigments.

Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina). Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments. Copper compounds have been observed to help protect not just against against illness, but also funguses like mould and it is sometimes used to treat wood. 

Copper has major religious and spiritual significance for shamlek. In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin, replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates.

==History==

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early use by myaner in several regions, from circa 6,900 BP. It was the first metal to be smelted from ores, circa 6,600 BP; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mould, c. 6,400 BP; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 6,100 BP.

Drokha also began to use copper before the Old Ones. Some texts such as the Codex Primordialis mention the drokha and metallurgy in conjunction with the Old Ones, and other texts indicate that the drokha had begun to smelt copper circa 6,500 BP. Copper moulds have also been found dating to 6,200 BP. 

According the legend, manush did not use copper before the Old Ones, but also began to make use of it by 6,500 BP, inventing bronze for themselves by 5,500 BP at the latest. It is probably that manush learned some secrets of metalworking from the drokha, explaining the long-standing association mankind have between metallurgy and the drokha.

[[Gold]] is a precious metal that has been used for [[Currency|coinage]], ornamentation, and other arts throughout recorded history. In many places, a gold standard serves as the basis of monetary policy instead of [[silver]]. Gold can be found naturally as nuggets, veins or wires of gold in a rock matrix, or fine grains of gold, mixed in with sediments or bound within rock. 

Gold is known for its lustrous red-yellow colour and thus gold as a colour can refer to anything from yellows or blonde hair, to even browns and ochres. Gold is often mixed with copper to create alloys of varying fineness in order to prioritise certain properties such as malleability, strength or durability. Objects can be gilded, giving them a thin coating of gold, and extremely thin gold foil can be wrapped around thread to form cloth-of-gold fabrics. 

__TOC__

==Uses==
Gold is considered one of the most precious natural metals alongside [[silver]] and as such it is used mostly in the present day as currency. Linguistically, it represents wealth, yellow, shining radiance, or beauty. 

==History==
Gold was the first metal to ever be used by the people of Terracil. Small amounts of gold have been recovered from caves dating back to at least 45,000 years before the present. 

The oldest golden artefacts are around 6,800 years old. The oldest myaner stamped coins were created around 5,400 BP.

==Uses==
Gold is considered one of the most precious natural metals alongside [[silver]] and as such it is used mostly in the present day as currency or jewellery. Linguistically, it represents wealth, yellow, shining radiance, or beauty.

Gold is used to mint coins, much like other precious metals or alloys. Gold is used as the base standard in several countries, though [[silver]] is more common. Depending on local exchange rates, it may be more or less expensive by weight than [[orichalcum]], as well as usually being less valuable than electricium or [[vitalium]].

[[Silver]] is a soft, white, and lustrous precious metal that has been used for [[Currency|coinage]], ornamentation, and other arts throughout recorded history. In many places, a silver standard serves as the basis of monetary policy instead of [[gold]]. Silver can be found naturally as wires or veins in a rock matrix, as an alloy with gold or other metals, or as ore in rocks. 

Silver has long been valued as a precious metal. While it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. Silver exhibits the highest conductivity and reflectivity of any metal, and is used to make expensive mirrors and is being researched as a way to conduct ethyr. 

Silver is known for its lustrous whiteness and is associated with the moon [[Celebri]]. The colour silver (or term silvery) can refer to white, light grey, or even light metallic colours such as the colours of [[vitalium]] or aluminium.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Silver is used for coins, to make mirrors, and more recently has been experimented as a possible way to conduct [[ethyr]], but this seems to be limited to [[Light-Ethyr|light]] and [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ethyr]].

Due to silver's higher reactivity than gold it has been primarily used as currency. In some areas of the world it is scarcer than gold and is valued higher, but the majority of the present day world considers gold to be of higher value than silver due to millennia of silver mining producing great quantities of it. 

The myaner often prize silver alongside [[Diamond|diamonds]] as representations of adamant, the mythical material the stars are made of. 

==History==
Silver was discovered in prehistoric times and the exact date of its first use is unknown, but it is estimated that it would have been first used around the same time as gold, and the oldest silver artefacts date from around 6,700 BP.

__TOC__

== Plot ==
Blood Cursed Dynasty
    Character idea, troubled past. Prove himself.
    Sociopathic tendencies.
    Setting idea, 
    Story idea, mitochondrial DNA 
    Gaining magic and taking over the kingdom
    Explain magic system ideas
    The endings, child legacy, and line of emperors
    Society shifting to matriarchy


===Book one===
   Warlord
   Gains magic, conquers empire
   Dynasty is secured, my blood will rule for a thousand years


Book 1 - 
Main character
Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red. 'the Bloodforged'? His son could be 'the Bloodcursed'?

===Book two===
   Son and daughter
   Civil war, gaining magic ritual reformed
   Penny drop, daughters children all have power

===Book three===
   Daughter's daughter
   Ending the civil war, subterfuge side plot
   Social change matriarchy etc


=== Brainstorm ===
 Empire
 A or B plot? Politics - slowly gain allies, manipulative GoT level stuff. Magic powers for political legitimacy, enhance the whole chosen by heaven divine right to rule thing.
 Battles - defeat opponents into submission. maybe lose an engagement or two. Create campaign to play through?? Use magic powers to show off legitimacy and destroy rest of opposition 

 Ritual
 A or B plot? Idea - stealth stealing old books/scrolls, translating from some elvish. old temple? library? Would be prologue material, as it encapsulates the themes of mystery, high tension, arcane magics, politics, and maybe even dark themes of blood?
 Practice - experiments and research, really dive into unveiling the magic system here. Perhaps he tries something specific to target inheritance (to magically pass the power only onto his firstborn son) but he accidentally chooses the mitochondria. Maybe he says something specific like through this aspect of the ritual I can ensure that the power is only passed on to a worthy heir. "A worthy heir inherits by being the firstborn son." The book could include a line that translates to explaining heritability of mitochondrial DNA genes. He interprets this as the secret to determining who inherits. He accidentally makes it so that all children inherit but only females can pass it on themselves.
 Performing it - Set up for the ritual. Abducting many ppl needed. Finding people willing to participate as priests. Aftermath? Use powers on the battlefield. Final battle or before?

 Son
 C plot. Romance? Political marriage? Arc of the relationship? Would need to meet the girl early and then include throughout. Late game tension could be pregnancy, birth during a battle? If he was born during a battle then he could be marked for destiny - cursed by blood. Battleborn, Bloodcursed. Would have to have been conceived after the ritual, as he expected to have passed on that power to his firstborn son. 

 Theme:
 Action - fight scenes, battles, etc
 Politics - political maneuvering, interpersonal relationships manipulated to get the ritual to run
 Arcane Scholarship - experiments, research, magic theory explored. 


==== Prologue ====
 Prologue:
 Themes of politics, action and arcane must be present. Stealing info from an old abandoned elven temple (maybe it's actually an elven library) and they ransack what is essentially a medical treatise on applications of blood magic's CRISPR tools. Translation, blood importance? Perhaps some elven guards are murdered callously? Very far from home. 

 Very far from home. sneaking through the forest to find the mythical tower of knowledge. turns out to just be an abandoned elf ruin. scouts report theyve noticed myaner guards, so its not fully abandoned. only three guards. (are actually caretakers/custodians/librarians of the ancient scrolls) we can take em. slits the throat of one himself, feels no remorse at all. is incapable of feeling remorse. Steals into the building, and begins to rifle through the books, strolls, and tablets. eventually finds a word he recognises (not on an entire category but on the spine of a book) that is the word for blood(?) (One way or another he needs to find a book in the medical/healing section that is relevant to using blood magic and using it to treat genetic diseases. (gene therapy textbook really), and he finds it useful). Sits down with a candle, getting blood on the wax, and sits to enjoy reading the book and tries translating it. prologue ends.
 this idea has violence, blood, set up for ritual, intro to arcane, elves, etc, but just needs to foreshadow politics more i think. how to write a political thriller/game??

Perhaps a date, to set the scene as to the time period? Starting in medias res.


CHAR stepped carefully, avoiding cracking any twigs or crunching any leaves. It was difficult to avoid, as the forest floor was littered with it. Luckily, his soft scouts' moccasins helped to muffle the sound of his footfalls. He noticed a hand gesture from one of his scouts to his side, and took cover behind a tree. The scout picked his way over to him through the underbrush, remarkably proficient at avoiding any rustling of branches. 

"My lord, we've spotted the site," he whispered. Drifting through the mist-wreathed trees, the haunting song of a false phoenix cried out. The bird was rare in NORTHLANDAREANAME. An omen of destiny, indeed. They both paused, the scout's eyes holding onto his own firmly. *The signs are clear. This day will be auspicious, whether to mark our deaths, or the start of a new era,* they seemed to say. CHAR nodded firmly at the scout. *Let us begin.*

The scout pulled out an ivory whistle and puffed on it, creating the sound of a kukatoo. Hopefully any guards would not be able to tell the difference between a real call and one falsified with a whistle. Hopefully they would not realise it was the signal. CHAR could not still the worry in his heart that they would be able to tell. They were, afterall, immortal guardians of the wilderness. They had probably heard every bird call in the forest more times than he had heard another man speak. He noticed his jaw clenched in tension, but could not make himself unclench it. The scout had started moving forward, crouching low to the ground, with his dagger in hand, but still within the green scabbard. They had worried the keen eyes of the Dinray scouts might notice the gleaming of metal, and would only unsheathe steel at the last moment. CHAR steadied himself and followed. He was glad for his training as a warrior, for he knew well how difficult it was to move crouched this low to the ground while keeping his balance steady, let alone silently on the leaf litter. 

After a few moments, he noticed the forest ahead seemed to grow lighter. The clearing. They had done it at last. The Reticent Archive.
A place spoken of only in legend. CHAR felt like he was living one of the tales his wetnurse would tell him when he was but six. Tales of elves and dragons and the mysteries of the deep forests. *Perhaps there were truths to some of those fairy tales, then*, he mused, pressing himself flat against a tree and peering through a thick bush to lay eyes upon the structure built within the clearing. The architecture was obviously not Shimei. His people favoured spires of stone, with tall pyramid-like of cone-like roofs, but these, while undeniably ruins, were majestic. Pillars intertwined to create arches, serried vertically amidst vines and broken stone. Statues flanked an entranceway, hooded figures holding huge books to their chests. This truly was the place. The incredible knowledge it must hold within! The secrets of the ancients, the answers to magic! His eyes wide, his heart beating, he realised he had started to push aside a branch and stepped forward into the clearing. 

There was a blur of motion and something large blurred directly before him, thudding down into the ground, trailing cloth. CHAR whipped out his dagger, darting back in a panic, realising how badly his moment of weakness has ruined *everything*. Now he was going to die, impaled on the spear of a vengeful Dinray, all because he forgot to be stealthy at the sight of a fairy tale castle come true. 

The form at his feet did not rise.

Cautiously, he looked up, and saw one of his scouts standing above the entranceway in what appeared to be a watchpost, wiping the blood off his dagger with a small cloth. CHAR kneeled to turn the body over, exposing a young face, ink black eyes, and skin that looked like it had vitiligo. The throat was slit, and warm blood poured out, covering CHAR's glove. He dropped the body back on the floor distastefully, and shook the blood off his hand, spraying the grass with droplets of red. He nodded his thanks to the scout, and dagger raised, entered the ruin. The hallway was dark, but his eyes quickly adjusted. He quickly found a room after a few turns that was lit with gentle torchlight that didn't flicker like flames. There were two figures here, one behind a desk copying a book, and the other, a scholar by the looks of the glass eyepieces he wore, who was at a table organising a pile of books and scrolls. The latter looked up as he entered, opening his mouth to greet him before pausing in utter surprise at seeing him and not a fellow Dinray. 

"Man keriig?" The Dinray scholar shouted angrily, pushing his chair back from the table and standing, then his eyes widened as CHAR rushed forward and slammed his palm against his forehead, tilting his head back to expose his throat. "Baw, gi cho-" His angry words turned to a strangled choke as CHAR's dagger swiped out. CHAR dropped him backwards, ignoring the gurgling noises of the dying Dinray on the floor, only caring to not get blood on the scrolls. The other Dinray had backed up against the wall, then slipped out of the room. A cry of pain a moment later confirmed that the scouts had ensured his end too. 

CHAR stalked the hall, walking down a hallway between shelves of books and scrolls, looking for a glyph he might recognise. He had spent numerous political favours and considerable wealth trying to acquire old elven writings and had spent countless hours attempting to learn them. For all his efforts, he was only able to recognise occasional words here and there. Old Forlaam was a difficult language to read. After some searching, he finally came across a tome which had a glyph he recognised on the leather spine. 

By the time the scouts entered the room, they found him there, bloody gloves removed and beside him on the table, dagger stabbed point first into the wood. A worn parchment that served as a dictionary of sorts held in one hand, the pointer finger of the other following Forlaam glyphs with the other. His eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory. His mind entirely focused on the puzzle ahead.

== Characters ==
 Idk name but Chinese noble 
 maybe he is the son of a female firstborn of an emperor, and thus is passed over for consideration and this infuriates him. Mum is upset too but he wants it for his case, not mums.
 also is sociopathic as he doesnt care about the value of a life, willing to sacrifice any number he considers lesser in order to further himself
 why does he want the power? it is his birthright - he was more worthy than the current emp (cousin)
 book 1 would thus be about the civil war he causes to try to usurp the throne to himself. Dance of the Dragons type ruination. Use ep 1 as the inspo for how to characterise properly!
 willing to experiment with peoples lives in exchange for granting himself power. 
 Would perhaps find evidence of a magic ritual he can perform to himself Black Panther powers perhaps from a myaner ruined library or even from something disconnected from the domain that still has info on it - needs to acquire the secrets to finding out how to manipulate blood magic ethyr


 Need to have his mum in as well
 Family
 Cousin who is the emperor

== Setting ==
The setting of the story will be in the Great Empire of Shimeisuraiku, the 'Empire of Heaven'. This is an empire inspired by China, but with considerable other influences. I want it to feature aspects of central/east African culture (look into cultures such as Maasai, Khoi-San, and Basotho people), as well as German, from medieval beer taverns to efficiency in engineering. Ethnic groups - varied means the empire is more impressive but much harder and unstable, whereas all the same means I cannot have diversity and is too close to China. Medieval German culture, in a setting that looks Chinese in architecture. Dress inspired by local textile availability and what the workers need, and food determined by what is available in the region. 

Will work on a map of the region. Will feature multiple river basins around which civilisation could have developed:

Start with the region only, blur out the preliminary rough heightmap to reflect a gradient from high to low. Use the pre-generated heightmap to help add realism. 
Use the overlay images from Wonderdraft (in a folder) and Patreon (saved on Reddit) to find textures for mountains, and use reference images to determine scale to help with this step. 
Also use real life topographic maps to help create the area. Copy mountain regions where they are the same age/etc, copy flat plains etc, and stitch together manually with blurring and cloning. 

Then put the area in Wilbur to create a topographical map. Hopefully with a couple passes over with Wilbur it will all look realistic. 

Can then work on a proper atlas style map following Artifexian's guide for an atlas map, and use this as the definitive guide for the geography of the story, as well as helping narrow down where to worldbuild, where to place story setting locations, and even creating battlefields for wargaming through encounters from the book to help the realism/dream of interact-ability of the story.</text>

== Plot ==
Blood Cursed Dynasty
    Character idea, troubled past. Prove himself.
    Sociopathic tendencies.
    Setting idea, 
    Story idea, mitochondrial DNA 
    Gaining magic and taking over the kingdom
    Explain magic system ideas
    The endings, child legacy, and line of emperors
    Society shifting to matriarchy


===Book one===
   Warlord
   Gains magic, conquers empire
   Dynasty is secured, my blood will rule for a thousand years


Book 1 - 
Main character
Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red. 'the Bloodforged'? His son could be 'the Bloodcursed'?

===Book two===
   Son and daughter
   Civil war, gaining magic ritual reformed
   Penny drop, daughters children all have power

===Book three===
   Daughter's daughter
   Ending the civil war, subterfuge side plot
   Social change matriarchy etc


=== Brainstorm ===
 Empire
 A or B plot? Politics - slowly gain allies, manipulative GoT level stuff. Magic powers for political legitimacy, enhance the whole chosen by heaven divine right to rule thing.
 Battles - defeat opponents into submission. maybe lose an engagement or two. Create campaign to play through?? Use magic powers to show off legitimacy and destroy rest of opposition 

 Ritual
 A or B plot? Idea - stealth stealing old books/scrolls, translating from some elvish. old temple? library? Would be prologue material, as it encapsulates the themes of mystery, high tension, arcane magics, politics, and maybe even dark themes of blood?
 Practice - experiments and research, really dive into unveiling the magic system here. Perhaps he tries something specific to target inheritance (to magically pass the power only onto his firstborn son) but he accidentally chooses the mitochondria. Maybe he says something specific like through this aspect of the ritual I can ensure that the power is only passed on to a worthy heir. "A worthy heir inherits by being the firstborn son." The book could include a line that translates to explaining heritability of mitochondrial DNA genes. He interprets this as the secret to determining who inherits. He accidentally makes it so that all children inherit but only females can pass it on themselves.
 Performing it - Set up for the ritual. Abducting many ppl needed. Finding people willing to participate as priests. Aftermath? Use powers on the battlefield. Final battle or before?

 Son
 C plot. Romance? Political marriage? Arc of the relationship? Would need to meet the girl early and then include throughout. Late game tension could be pregnancy, birth during a battle? If he was born during a battle then he could be marked for destiny - cursed by blood. Battleborn, Bloodcursed. Would have to have been conceived after the ritual, as he expected to have passed on that power to his firstborn son. 

 Theme:
 Action - fight scenes, battles, etc
 Politics - political maneuvering, interpersonal relationships manipulated to get the ritual to run
 Arcane Scholarship - experiments, research, magic theory explored. 


Achieves end goals: magic, kingship, and child.
Magic – prologue where he finds scrolls of how to use blood magic. Born with minor ability to use it? (yes, do not like idea of being able to give non-magic ppl powers. Perhaps could work through blood magic, so it’s possible for someone like Hoid to collect all the abilities. Must make this ruinously hard to do or everyone will be a mage.) Uses this ability to strengthen himself at the cost of many others? 
	Need 
King - 
Child – romance subplot? Marries for political reasons? Could tie back into the politics B plot. Secures something valuable for the match. Land? Army? Legitimacy? I like the army option best, so perhaps he marries the daughter of the best, most experienced general in the realm, so that way he brings the best chance for military victory to his side. Would explain the success he has in his endeavour. Also necessitates two new characters – General and his Daughter. 
	General would be experienced, and command a large following of soldiers. Is the country a feudal/republican, etc. Follow the example of ancient China. Insanely large armies due to large amount of rice farmers. Perhaps there is a core standing army of trained men-at-arms who are the elite fighting force. 

Build the culture. Follow various guides for this. 


==== Prologue ====
 Prologue:
 Themes of politics, action and arcane must be present. Stealing info from an old abandoned elven temple (maybe it's actually an elven library) and they ransack what is essentially a medical treatise on applications of blood magic's CRISPR tools. Translation, blood importance? Perhaps some elven guards are murdered callously? Very far from home. 

 Very far from home. sneaking through the forest to find the mythical tower of knowledge. turns out to just be an abandoned elf ruin. scouts report theyve noticed myaner guards, so its not fully abandoned. only three guards. (are actually caretakers/custodians/librarians of the ancient scrolls) we can take em. slits the throat of one himself, feels no remorse at all. is incapable of feeling remorse. Steals into the building, and begins to rifle through the books, strolls, and tablets. eventually finds a word he recognises (not on an entire category but on the spine of a book) that is the word for blood(?) (One way or another he needs to find a book in the medical/healing section that is relevant to using blood magic and using it to treat genetic diseases. (gene therapy textbook really), and he finds it useful). Sits down with a candle, getting blood on the wax, and sits to enjoy reading the book and tries translating it. prologue ends.
 this idea has violence, blood, set up for ritual, intro to arcane, elves, etc, but just needs to foreshadow politics more i think. how to write a political thriller/game??

Perhaps a date, to set the scene as to the time period? Starting in medias res.

    <text bytes="6887" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races.

__TOC__

== Function ==
Magesight seems like an important sense and as such it was unknown for a long time why it was not selected for, as even if ethyr was too dangerous to use, it would be useful for species to be able to see it. However, this is mistaken for two reasons. Firstly, seeing ethyr is not as simple as using your eyes or special rods or cones to detect it. Ethyr at rest does not have colour as it is not a physical substance, and there is nothing to see. 

People with magesight share certain genetic markers in common with people who can use magic, including the turning off of ethyr-suppressor genes. This implies that the ability to see ethyr is not so much sight, but rather a new sense that is part and parcel of the ability to use magic. This is the second reason, as visualising ethyr is itself a magical ability.

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours as light-ethyr. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. However despite this, some cases of wyrd ethyr being released coincide with either photons releasing and thus causing coloured glows visible to individuals without magesight, such as the phenomenon of Cherenkov radiation. There are also circumstances where making use of wyrd-flavour wyrd-ethyr can result in a neon green glow. As such, the colour traditionally applied to this flavour is turquoise, a mix of the electric blue and neon green colours that are most commonly seen.

The other flavours of wyrd-ethyr often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is traditionally depicted as black and vacuum-flavour as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to an amethyst haze or even a black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

=== Gravity-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

|}

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the ultimate setting of all things that take place in OfficialTRC's works. It contains several other planets in its system, and orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, Silver and Yellow, and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
 Describe things such as number of continents, gravity, and radius, area, and weight compared to Earth. Rough area of main landmasses vs water and the ratio and ratio compared to earth.

Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky. 


=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

==== NA ====
The NA is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== Meli ====
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
===== The desert belt =====
A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area.

As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area.

    <text bytes="15733" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="15824" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===


=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===


=== Gravity-Ethyr ===


=== Creation-Ethyr ===

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list.

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"

|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●

=== Light-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from wyrdstone ores

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="16332" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===


=== Creation-Ethyr ===

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

[[Vitalium]] is a shiny grey metal that is much lighter than iron. This metal is not suitable for most uses when pure, as it is brittle and slowly withers away when exposed to water, as well as being dangerously flammable. Vitalium burns with a blinding white light.

It is often mixed with electricium to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Vitalium salts have been claimed to soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are traded widely by healer guilds to incorporate into bandages or poultices, as well as researched by mages who can use [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]]. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

Despite its high rarity, it has not been adopted as coinage anywhere due to both its irregular supply as well as its properties that make it less long-lasting than the usual coinage metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], or [[orichalcum]]. Although it is perfectly durable when alloyed with metals such as electricium, it is hard to work with which means it is usually left to the alchemist-forgers who have special techniques for working it into usable shapes and not minted into coins. 

This being said, it is sometimes formed into uniform ingots for transport or trade.

==History==
A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

[[Vitalium]] is a shiny grey metal that is much lighter than iron. This metal is not suitable for most uses when pure, as it is brittle and slowly withers away when exposed to water, as well as being dangerously flammable. Vitalium burns with a blinding white light.

It is often mixed with electricium to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Vitalium salts have been claimed to soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are traded widely by healer guilds to incorporate into bandages or poultices, as well as researched by mages who can use [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]]. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

Despite its high rarity, it has not been adopted as coinage anywhere due to both its irregular supply as well as its properties that make it less long-lasting than the usual coinage metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], or [[orichalcum]]. Although it is perfectly durable when alloyed with metals such as electricium, it is hard to work with which means it is usually left to the alchemist-forgers who have special techniques for working it into usable shapes and not minted into coins. 

This being said, it is sometimes formed into uniform ingots for transport or trade.

==History==
{{quote|The cows won't drink it m'lord, but it seems to heal 'em sores.|a cattle farmer from Meandres}}
A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

    <text bytes="6044" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to decay is known as '''wyrd-ethyr'''. Not all interactions due to decay perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Wyrd-Ethyr manifests in the universe through decay. When things succumb to the force of entropy, they leave behind thin wisps of ethyr that readily reacts to further cause ruin. On the other hand, it can be used for less destructive purposes such as crystallisation or even summoning light. The exact thing decaying can cause vastly different flavours of ethyr to be manifested, from the release of soul ethyr as souls or ethyr decay, to the arcane void ethyr released through harvesting vacuum energy.

== Flavours ==
There are four main flavours of wyrd-ethyr, each of which are derived from their according origin. There are often subsets to the main flavours.
=== Wyrd ===
Wyrd flavour wyrd-ethyr is released through radioactive decay. Beta decay converting a proton to a neutron or vice versa causes a release of wyrd energy, which can be used to power wyrd spells. The most common practitioners are usually scholars, applying alchemical knowledge to ethyr. 

In fact, there is a considerable degree of partnership between wyrd and light ethyr scholars. Alchemical studies have usually been the purview of the latter due to chemical flavour light ethyr both finding its source in, and being indispensable for, chemical reactions. 

However, the link between light ethyr and wyrd ethyr is further reinforced by the existence of 'key' spells, which are light ethyr spells that can draw out wyrd to the same degree of efficacy as dedicated wyrd spells. This has caused the alliance between mages of the two separate schools to engage in open discourse and research, expanding the knowledge of these types of ethyr. 

Regardless, wyrd-ethyr from radiation is a dangerous game to play. It has become common to expect wyrd practitioners to suffer from "wizard's death" far more often than other wizards. This term usually refers to the assorted skin damage; bleeding from the eyes, nose, and gums; nausea and vomiting; and weakness and fatigue that wizards experience when exposed to these sources of wyrd. The degree of power it provides, both through the abilities themselves and through the prestige it grants, are however usually considered worth it to the budding mage acolyte who discovers his ability to manipulate wyrd ethyr.

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?
=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.
=== Void ===
Decay of the energy of the void.

== Mechanics ==
=== Source ===
Wyrd - Radioactive decay.

Soul - Soul slowly decaying. 

Death - Decay of the bond between mind and body. Somehow acquire ethyr from death, the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or only the ones with sapience/free will?

Void - Decay of the energy of the void. Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay (quantum vacuum fluctuations)

=== Application ===
Wyrd - Spells themed around radioactivity, perhaps?

Soul - Binding souls. Creating ai, especially binding into artefacts. Manipulating the Domain?

Death - Could it be used to perform murderous atrocities?

Void - Use wyrd to draw out wyrd ethyr from thin air - hack the system for renewable ethyr energy (but vastly dangerous). Also maybe a source of actual energy, too. 


=== Further Ideas ===
 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.


 Wyrd magic is the final subset of decay magic, and is often known as blue magic, or wyrdlore. The act of drawing power from wyrdstones, elemental ores that are prized for their magical energy. As the wizard draws power from the stones, they glow blue and all life nearby withers, corrupts, or mutates. The 'wizard's death' awaits any who practice this magic without protection and in some places permission must be sought before engaging in this field legally. (Uranium radiation magic)

[[Wyrdstone]] is a type of stone that is valued by alchemists and wyrd-ethyr users for extracting [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd]], as well as being prized as a yellow dye for glass or ceramics. It is known as a type of rock or mineral but others suspect it may be a type of metal for which knowledge of how to extract from the ore is not yet known. 


__TOC__

==Uses==
Wyrdstone is used as a yellow dye for both glassmaking as well as ceramic glazes. However, in most areas it is much more highly valued than other dyes like [[cinnabar]] or [[cobalt]] due to it's unique wyrd-ethyr properties, and is often sold to wyrdmages who pay high prices to get their hands on the substance. 

It is also well known for being dangerous to one's health. It has been documented that wyrdmages die young to all sorts of maladies such as failures of the kidney, brain, liver, heart, or reproductive system. Most wyrdmages end up making themselves infertile due to their experimentations with wyrdstone. 

Acute exposure to wyrdstone can cause nausea and vomiting, fatigue, fevers, and flushes, as well as spontaneous bleeding before an inevitable untimely and painful death. Both this death as well as the eventual death of long-term exposure are referred to as the 'wizard's death'. 

Myaner know of it as the balestone due to the difficulty [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]] has in healing the damages caused by wyrdstone. 

=== Ethyr ===
Wyrdstone is the source of the entire field of wyrd-flavour wyrd-ethyr and knowledge of this field is known as wyrdlore. A wyrdmage is able to draw out ethyr from the stone which causes the stone to glow blue and it can have effects such as making life nearby wither, corrupt, or mutate. This can be the goal itself, or the goal can be to use the ethyr extracted to form powerful spells.

==History==
The stone was first noticed by a wyrdmage in time forgotten as it was discovered to have wyrd-ethyr floating around it. It was quickly made a taboo due to the horrifying effects on living creatures in the vicinity when ethyr is extracted from it. Eventually it was used as a yellow dye for glass-making within historical times as well as for glazing ceramics.

It was quickly made a taboo due to the horrifying effects on living creatures in the vicinity when ethyr is extracted from it. Eventually it was used as a yellow dye for glass-making within historical times as well as for glazing ceramics.

==Uses==
Wyrdstone is used as a yellow dye for both glassmaking as well as ceramic glazes. However, in most areas it is much more highly valued than other dyes like [[cinnabar]] or [[cobalt]] due to it's unique wyrd-ethyr properties, and is often sold to wyrdmages who pay high prices to get their hands on the substance. 

It is also well known for being dangerous to one's health. It has been documented that wyrdmages die young to all sorts of maladies such as failures of the kidney, brain, liver, heart, or reproductive system. Most wyrdmages end up making themselves infertile due to their experimentations with wyrdstone. 

Acute exposure to wyrdstone can cause nausea and vomiting, fatigue, fevers, and flushes, as well as spontaneous bleeding before an inevitable untimely and painful death. Both this death as well as the eventual death of long-term exposure are referred to as the 'wizard's death'.

    <text bytes="9186" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical ward shield that protects them from incoming damage, as well as the ability to heal wounds, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost like they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour actually heavier than the very plates themselves, at around 2 kg without the straps. This lightweight metal is suspected by experts to be some alloy of [[vitalium]] and electricium.

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are a mage.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the ward shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This ward is thinner around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The ward shield consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a puff of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted and having caused a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the ward shield, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the ward shield. This causes the rest of the energy of the ward to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the ward shield can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.


 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, just the threat of a wager for it tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, Doing it alone can be very slow, though still possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before the arming doublet is donned or after it is removed.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

    <text bytes="4797" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Moonstone.jpg|350px|thumb|right|alt=A rectangular block of a pale yellow transparent stone.|Pale yellow moonstone is the most common type and can be found in blocks as large, pure, and transparent as this.]]

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone can be found in varying levels of opacity from almost completely transparent to fully opaque, and a vein may occasionally show phosphorescence or even fluorescence. One particular mostly transparent variety of pale moonstone is called sunstone and is often used for its optical properties of polarising light as it can be used to determine the sun's position even on a cloudy day to assist with navigation.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

Moonstone is a type of carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone can be found in varying levels of opacity from almost completely transparent to fully opaque, and a vein may occasionally show phosphorescence or even fluorescence. One particular mostly transparent variety of pale moonstone is called sunstone and is often used for its optical properties of polarising light as it can be used to determine the sun's position even on a cloudy day to assist with navigation.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
{{quote|Come nightfall, the streets begin to glow with the captured radiance of the moon. Polished and cut blocks of moonstone are set regularly between paving stones in the centre of roads and along curbs. Visiting at night shows why moonstone is truly considered a wonder of the world.|Description of a city using moonstone for lighting.}}
Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

[[Copper]] is one of the base metals, with unique properties that have made it remarkably useful over the milennia. It has a pinkish-orange colour and may develop a green patina as it ages. The colour "copper" refers to a reddish brown. Copper is used to make up many alloys, from [[bronze]] to [[brass]], and even is mixed in with gold to change properties such as malleability, strength, and durability.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Copper is mostly used as an ingredient in alloys like bronze and brass, and is commonly used as a pure metal. Pure copper also has antimicrobial properties and is often used for medical tools or containers for water storage for this reason.

Copper is also commonly encountered in minerals such as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and imparts blue or green colours. These have been used widely and historically as pigments.

Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina). Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments. Copper compounds have been observed to help protect not just against against illness, but also funguses like mould and it is sometimes used to treat wood. 

Copper has major religious and spiritual significance for shamlek. In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin, replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates.

==History==

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early use by myaner in several regions, from circa 6,900 BP. It was the first metal to be smelted from ores, circa 6,600 BP; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mould, c. 6,400 BP; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 6,100 BP.

Drokha also began to use copper before the Old Ones. Some texts such as the Codex Primordialis mention the drokha and metallurgy in conjunction with the Old Ones, and other texts indicate that the drokha had begun to smelt copper circa 6,500 BP. Copper moulds have also been found dating to 6,200 BP. 

According the legend, manush did not use copper before the Old Ones, but also began to make use of it by 6,500 BP, inventing bronze for themselves by 5,500 BP at the latest. It is probably that manush learned some secrets of metalworking from the drokha, explaining the long-standing association mankind have between metallurgy and the drokha.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Diamonds are sometimes used as jewellery. Their sparkle has caused them to be favoured by some myaner, as they resemble the twinkling of stars. 

==History==
In myaner tongues, diamond is usually etymologically related to stars, and in culture often represent the stars themselves. Many myths refer to the stars in the heavens as diamonds set within a great cosmic dome, through which the radiance of the God Beyond the Heavens is let through to shine down upon the peoples of Terracil.

Micas are a group of minerals known for their flakiness and glittery shimmer. Mica is common in igneous and metamorphic rock and is occasionally found as small flakes in sedimentary rock. It is particularly prominent in many granites, pegmatites, and schists, and "books" (large individual crystals) of mica several feet across have been found.

Micas are used in products such as cements, paints, cosmetics, and pottery. The mineral is used in cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost."

===Construction===
Ground mica has been used in plaster coatings to buildings as it improves the workability and consistency, acts as a filler, and provides resistance to cracking. Ancient myaner structures are often found in better condition than they should for their age due to these preservational properties. These structures are also distinctive due to the inclusion of silvery mica powder into the surface layer of cement which results in the appearance of being composed of a material somewhere between metal and rock. 

Ancient myaner architects also made use of a unique type of fungus that when mixed into the cement would heal the structure is fracks began to develop. This also would release small amounts of [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]].

===Aesthetics===
In paints, ground mica is used as it helps with many properties useful for paints such as colour suspension and reducing chalking and additionally increases the resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering and brightens the tone of coloured pigments. 

The mineral is used in makeup and other cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost." 

Mica flakes are also used in high myaner society to embellish women's summer clothes, especially the long light-weight colourful scarves worn by nobility, matching the dress and house colours. Thin mica flakes are added to a hot starch water solution, and the scarf or dress is dipped in this water mixture for 3–5 minutes. Then it is hung to air dry. The resultant cloth develops a shimmer that catches the light.

==History==
Use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to many ancient civilisations, from manush and myaner to melinorati and shamlek.

The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created around 40,000 years ago. The first hues were red (iron oxide, hematite, or red ochre) and black (manganese dioxide, pyrolusite), though black from juniper or pine carbons has also been discovered. White from kaolin or mica was used occasionally.

The Itzatecah Pyramid of the Sun contains considerable amounts of mica in layers up to a foot thick.

Natural mica is also used to make pottery. The pottery is made from weathered mica, and has flecks of mica throughout the vessels. Some pottery is made by coating the clay with mica to provide a dense, glittery micaceous finish over the entire object.

Fine mica can be added to coloured powders to create a sparkling effect when thrown in the air during the Festival of Colours. 

It is common for myaner noble ladies to wear dresses (ranging from white or pearl to pale tans or creams and that have been treated with mica flakes) under colourful transparent shawls or scarfs to tint the dress to their house colour. In some cultures, this can represent the house colours they have married into, and can even be an aspect of marriage ceremonies. 

Wet-ground mica was included in the paint used on the personal war-chariot of the melinorati king Ai-Mukrushu and resulted in a pearlescent purple that shifted between reddish or bluish depending on the light, and was seen as proof of his divine right of rule, invoking the goddess Etchi-Sheli.

It is particularly prominent in many granites, pegmatites, and schists, and "books" (large individual crystals) of mica several feet across have been found.

Micas are used in products such as cements, paints, cosmetics, and pottery. The mineral is used in cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost."

Ground mica has been used in plaster coatings to buildings as it improves the workability and consistency, acts as a filler, and provides resistance to cracking. Ancient myaner structures are often found in better condition than they should for their age due to these preservational properties. These structures are also distinctive due to the inclusion of silvery mica powder into the surface layer of cement which results in the appearance of being composed of a material somewhere between metal and rock. 

Ancient myaner architects also made use of a unique type of fungus that when mixed into the cement would heal the structure is fracks began to develop. This also would release small amounts of [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]] that would in turn either help the fungus survive or could be used to cultivate decorative greenery or used for myaner latent healing.

===Aesthetics===
In paints, ground mica is used as it helps with many properties useful for paints such as colour suspension and reducing chalking and additionally increases the resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering and brightens the tone of coloured pigments. 

The mineral is used in makeup and other cosmetics to add "shimmer" or "frost," and is valued for making mere cloth catch the light as if it were polished metal.

Mica flakes are also used in high myaner society to embellish women's summer clothes, especially the long light-weight colourful scarves worn by nobility, matching the dress and house colours. Thin mica flakes are added to a hot starch water solution, and the scarf or dress is dipped in this water mixture for 3–5 minutes. Then it is hung to air dry. The resultant cloth develops a shimmer that catches the light.

==History==
{{quote|His chariot shone purple and red/A glimmering comet;his enemies bled.|From the poetic edda "Of king Ai-Mukrushu"}}

Use of mica dates back to prehistoric times. Mica was known to many ancient civilisations, from manush and myaner to melinorati and shamlek.

The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created around 40,000 years ago. The first hues were red (iron oxide, hematite, or red ochre) and black (manganese dioxide, pyrolusite), though black from juniper or pine carbons has also been discovered. White from kaolin or mica was used occasionally.

The Itzatecah Pyramid of the Sun contains considerable amounts of mica in layers up to a foot thick.

Natural mica is also used to make pottery. The pottery is made from weathered mica, and has flecks of mica throughout the vessels. Some pottery is made by coating the clay with mica to provide a dense, glittery micaceous finish over the entire object.

Fine mica can be added to coloured powders to create a sparkling effect when thrown in the air during the Festival of Colours. 

It is common for myaner noble ladies to wear dresses (ranging from white or pearl to pale tans or creams and that have been treated with mica flakes) under colourful transparent shawls or scarfs to tint the dress to their house colour. In some cultures, this can represent the house colours they have married into, and can even be an aspect of marriage ceremonies. 

Wet-ground mica was included in the paint used on the personal war-chariot of the melinorati king Ai-Mukrushu and resulted in a pearlescent purple that shifted between reddish or bluish depending on the light, and was seen as proof of his divine right of rule, invoking the goddess Etchi-Sheli.

    <text bytes="2393" xml:space="preserve">[[File:gold.jpg|400px|thumb|right|alt=A nugget of gold.|A small nugget of naturally occurring gold.]]

[[Gold]] is a precious metal that has been used for [[Currency|coinage]], ornamentation, and other arts throughout recorded history. In many places, a gold standard serves as the basis of monetary policy instead of [[silver]]. Gold can be found naturally as nuggets, veins or wires of gold in a rock matrix, or fine grains of gold, mixed in with sediments or bound within rock. 

Gold is known for its lustrous red-yellow colour and thus gold as a colour can refer to anything from yellows or blonde hair, to even browns and ochres. Gold is often mixed with copper to create alloys of varying fineness in order to prioritise certain properties such as malleability, strength or durability. Objects can be gilded, giving them a thin coating of gold, and extremely thin gold foil can be wrapped around thread to form cloth-of-gold fabrics. 

__TOC__

[[File:Gold coins.jpg|450px|thumb|left|alt=A lost hoard of gold coins.|Gold coins that have been forgotten by history are a common objective for adventurers and looters looking to make their fortunes.]]

==Uses==
Gold is considered one of the most precious natural metals alongside [[silver]] and as such it is used mostly in the present day as currency or jewellery. Linguistically, it represents wealth, yellow, shining radiance, or beauty.

Gold is used to mint coins, much like other precious metals or alloys. Gold is used as the base standard in several countries, though [[silver]] is more common. Depending on local exchange rates, it may be more or less expensive by weight than [[orichalcum]], as well as usually being less valuable than electricium or [[vitalium]]. 

Over the millennia, many important people have been buried with their hoards of wealth, or golden artefacts have been lost to the mists of time, which makes grave-robbers, looters, or "adventurers" eager to search ruins or long-lost sites in order to claim their fortunes.

==History==
Gold was the first metal to ever be used by the people of Terracil. Small amounts of gold have been recovered from caves dating back to at least 45,000 years before the present. 

The oldest golden artefacts are around 6,800 years old. The oldest myaner stamped coins were created around 5,400 BP.

[[Silver]] is a soft, white, and lustrous precious metal that has been used for [[Currency|coinage]], ornamentation, and other arts throughout recorded history. In many places, a silver standard serves as the basis of monetary policy instead of [[gold]]. Silver can be found naturally as wires or veins in a rock matrix, as an alloy with gold or other metals, or as ore in rocks. 

Silver has long been valued as a precious metal. While it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. Silver exhibits the highest conductivity and reflectivity of any metal, and is used to make expensive mirrors and is being researched as a way to conduct ethyr. 

Silver is known for its lustrous whiteness and is associated with the moon [[Celebri]]. The colour silver (or term silvery) can refer to white, light grey, or even light metallic colours such as the colours of [[vitalium]] or electricium.

__TOC__

[[File:Silver coins.jpg|450px|thumb|left|alt=Pile of silver coins on a black background.|Silver historically has been mostly used as a source of wealth, and is often minted into coins.]]

==Uses==
Silver is used for coins, to make mirrors, and more recently has been experimented as a possible way to conduct [[ethyr]], but this seems to be limited to [[Light-Ethyr|light]] and [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ethyr]].

Due to silver's higher reactivity than gold it has been primarily used as currency. In some areas of the world it is scarcer than gold and is valued higher, but the majority of the present day world considers gold to be of higher value than silver due to millennia of silver mining producing great quantities of it. 

The myaner often prize silver alongside [[Diamond|diamonds]] as representations of adamant, the mythical material the stars are made of.

==History==
Silver was discovered in prehistoric times and the exact date of its first use is unknown, but it is estimated that it would have been first used around the same time as gold, and the oldest silver artefacts date from around 6,700 BP.

Orichalcum has been used for [[Currency|coinage]], ornamentation, and other arts throughout recorded history. It can be found naturally as wires or veins in a rock matrix, as an alloy with [[silver]], [[copper]], nickel or other metals, or as ore in rocks. 

Orichalcum is very rare and is usually valued as more expensive than gold, but in some regions it is more abundant and becomes less valuable than gold, dropping to around half the value sometimes. 

Orichalcum is known for its rarity and lustrous whiteness and is associated with the silver. It is considered to be related to silver, [[vitalium]], and aluminium. It is considered a noble metal alongside gold and usually silver as it is so unreactive. 

__TOC__

==Uses==
Orichalcum is sometimes found as a white gold-orichalcum alloy in artefacts or in coins. Pure orichalcum coins are very rare but some attested examples are known of. 

==History==
Orichalcum was used as an alloy with gold as far back as 3,200 BP but it is possible this was accidental. It was mined and worked into an alloy with gold around 2,000 BP.

    <text bytes="16606" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal.

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="4177" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to the gravitational force is known as '''gravity-ethyr'''. Not all interactions from gravitation perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist three key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Gravity-Ethyr seeps into the universe through the imprint of mass upon the fabric of space-time, arising from an interaction between the gravitational field and the ethyric field. As a result, it can often be found concentrated where there is something heavy/with a lot of mass. There are numerous different varieties of gravity-ethyr, but they all follow the same rules.

Weight-flavour ethyr can be drawn through touch and used to temporarily 'relocate' the mass it originated from to a new location by a strengthmage. Moving the ethyr in this way causes the mass it represents to physically weigh down the practitioner, and as such they can only move an amount proportional to their ability to lift physical weights. The removal of mass from an object cannot exceed a half, as the ethyr refuses somehow, becoming 'slippery'. There exist ways to move higher proportions of mass from an object through interactions between this and other magic systems.

Potential-flavour ethyr can be found when an object falls. As the potential energy within it is converted to kinetic energy, it releases ethyr, almost as a waterfall of ethyric mist tracing the path where the falling object travelled. A mage can reach into this waterfall and draw it into themselves for use. It can be dumped back into the falling object to pause it mid fall, 'tricking' it into thinking it is at rest even though it is levitating; it can be used to slow a descent down, allowing a user to survive large falls; or it can be used to move things fall slower, faster, or even fall upwards until the power runs out.

 Tidal-flavour ethyr - linked to the moon somehow


🏋🏼‍♂️ - Mass (gravity etc)
   🪨 - Falling objects release ethyr. Connected to gravitational potential energy transferring to kinetic energy. As gravitational energy is used up, it releases ethyr which can be used to make things fall slower, faster, levitate, or go up. Ethyr in this case is a way to convert energy from one form to another, multiplied by the body's own lifting ability. Can be used to survive large falls. Use potential energy to let things levitate.
   ⚖️ - Shift some mass from one thing to another. Limits: up to half of the selected objects' masses can be moved. Can make an anvil 50% it's usual weight, or make a suit of armour 150% it's usual weight. Need to always keep the source's and target's weights in mind at all times, and doing mental estimates and calculations to determine the best course of action.
   🌙 - Moonlight magic? I did want some mild degree of heavens magic, so future visions, probability bending, atium shadows?? Imagine casting Ati's Shadows on Saurus in combat holy fuck the carnage. Alternatively, magic surges during high tide thanks to the effect of gravity on water. Perhaps slow motion vision (changing perception of reality to be quicker) could arrive the same effect through less preternatural means. More likely to be a light spell. Electric, even. - Seeing in slow motion could be achieved in a few ways: adjusting the flow of time for a bubble around you, speeding up your brain's processing to see and decide what to do quickly, or both. Would fit best within gravity due to the gravity time dilation effect, but light magic could help out as could electric to make the nerves/neurons faster. Muscles ca only move so fast, so the bubble would have to happen.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Gravity-Ethyr seeps into the universe through the imprint of mass upon the fabric of space-time, arising from an interaction between the gravitational field and the ethyric field. As a result, it can often be found concentrated where there is something heavy/with a lot of mass. There are numerous different varieties of gravity-ethyr, but they all follow the same rules.

Weight-flavour ethyr can be drawn through touch and used to temporarily 'relocate' the mass it originated from to a new location by a strengthmage. Moving the ethyr in this way causes the mass it represents to physically weigh down the practitioner, and as such they can only move an amount proportional to their ability to lift physical weights. The removal of mass from an object cannot exceed a half, as the ethyr refuses somehow, becoming 'slippery'. There exist ways to move higher proportions of mass from an object through interactions between this and other magic systems.

Potential-flavour ethyr can be found when an object falls. As the potential energy within it is converted to kinetic energy, it releases ethyr, almost as a waterfall of ethyric mist tracing the path where the falling object travelled. A mage can reach into this waterfall and draw it into themselves for use. It can be dumped back into the falling object to pause it mid fall, 'tricking' it into thinking it is at rest even though it is levitating; it can be used to slow a descent down, allowing a user to survive large falls; or it can be used to move things fall slower, faster, or even fall upwards until the power runs out.

 Tidal-flavour ethyr - linked to the moon somehow


🏋🏼‍♂️ - Mass (gravity etc)
   🪨 - Falling objects release ethyr. Connected to gravitational potential energy transferring to kinetic energy. As gravitational energy is used up, it releases ethyr which can be used to make things fall slower, faster, levitate, or go up. Ethyr in this case is a way to convert energy from one form to another, multiplied by the body's own lifting ability. Can be used to survive large falls. Use potential energy to let things levitate.
   ⚖️ - Shift some mass from one thing to another. Limits: up to half of the selected objects' masses can be moved. Can make an anvil 50% it's usual weight, or make a suit of armour 150% it's usual weight. Need to always keep the source's and target's weights in mind at all times, and doing mental estimates and calculations to determine the best course of action.

 Theme: control

There are three main flavours of creation-ethyr. 
=== Mass ===
Source – ethyr accumulates where there is mass 

Uses – the ethyr can be transferred temporarily (longer with stronger spells), transferring mass with it. 

=== Creation and Destruction ===
Source – fusion (lighter than iron) and fission (heavier than iron)

Uses – this ethyr can be programmed to create or uncreate physical or ethyric objects. summon mass from energy or convert mass to energy. create elements or fine tune materials composition in alloys etc

=== Negation ===
Source – N/A, not a type of ethyr. 

Uses – users can dissipate ethyr, unravel spells' or enchantment's weaves, or negate ethyr clouds (hide spellcasting or ethyr from being visible?)

Not all interactions due to decay perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Wyrd-Ethyr manifests in the universe through decay. When things succumb to the force of entropy, they leave behind thin wisps of ethyr that readily reacts to further cause ruin. On the other hand, it can be used for less destructive purposes such as crystallisation or even summoning light. The exact thing decaying can cause vastly different flavours of ethyr to be manifested, from the release of soul ethyr as souls or ethyr decay, to the arcane void ethyr released through harvesting vacuum energy.

== Flavours ==
There are four main flavours of wyrd-ethyr, each of which are derived from their according origin. There are often subsets to the main flavours.
=== Wyrd ===
Wyrd flavour wyrd-ethyr is released through radioactive decay. Beta decay converting a proton to a neutron or vice versa causes a release of wyrd energy, which can be used to power wyrd spells. The most common practitioners are usually scholars, applying alchemical knowledge to ethyr. 

In fact, there is a considerable degree of partnership between wyrd and light ethyr scholars. Alchemical studies have usually been the purview of the latter due to chemical flavour light ethyr both finding its source in, and being indispensable for, chemical reactions. 

However, the link between light ethyr and wyrd ethyr is further reinforced by the existence of 'key' spells, which are light ethyr spells that can draw out wyrd to the same degree of efficacy as dedicated wyrd spells. This has caused the alliance between mages of the two separate schools to engage in open discourse and research, expanding the knowledge of these types of ethyr. 

Regardless, wyrd-ethyr from radiation is a dangerous game to play. It has become common to expect wyrd practitioners to suffer from "wizard's death" far more often than other wizards. This term usually refers to the assorted skin damage; bleeding from the eyes, nose, and gums; nausea and vomiting; and weakness and fatigue that wizards experience when exposed to these sources of wyrd. The degree of power it provides, both through the abilities themselves and through the prestige it grants, are however usually considered worth it to the budding mage acolyte who discovers his ability to manipulate wyrd ethyr.

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?

Source –  

Uses –

=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.
=== Void ===
Decay of the energy of the void.

== Mechanics ==
=== Source ===
Wyrd - Radioactive decay.

Soul - Soul slowly decaying. 

Death - Decay of the bond between mind and body. Somehow acquire ethyr from death, the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or only the ones with sapience/free will?

Void - Decay of the energy of the void. Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay (quantum vacuum fluctuations)

=== Application ===
Wyrd - Spells themed around radioactivity, perhaps?

Soul - Binding souls. Creating ai, especially binding into artefacts. Manipulating the Domain?

Death - Could it be used to perform murderous atrocities?

Void - Use wyrd to draw out wyrd ethyr from thin air - hack the system for renewable ethyr energy (but vastly dangerous). Also maybe a source of actual energy, too. 


=== Further Ideas ===
 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.


 Wyrd magic is the final subset of decay magic, and is often known as blue magic, or wyrdlore. The act of drawing power from wyrdstones, elemental ores that are prized for their magical energy. As the wizard draws power from the stones, they glow blue and all life nearby withers, corrupts, or mutates. The 'wizard's death' awaits any who practice this magic without protection and in some places permission must be sought before engaging in this field legally. (Uranium radiation magic)

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?

Source – souls or ethyr decaying 

Uses –

=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.

Source – decay of bond between mind and body (soul disconnection, breaking a bond releases energy!) 

Uses – 

=== Void ===
Decay of the energy of the void.

Source – energy from the void, decaying particles etc

Uses –

== Mechanics ==
=== Source ===
Wyrd - Radioactive decay.

Soul - Soul slowly decaying. 

Death - Decay of the bond between mind and body. Somehow acquire ethyr from death, the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or only the ones with sapience/free will?

Void - Decay of the energy of the void. Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay (quantum vacuum fluctuations)

=== Application ===
Wyrd - Spells themed around radioactivity, perhaps?

Soul - Binding souls. Creating ai, especially binding into artefacts. Manipulating the Domain?

Death - Could it be used to perform murderous atrocities?

Void - Use wyrd to draw out wyrd ethyr from thin air - hack the system for renewable ethyr energy (but vastly dangerous). Also maybe a source of actual energy, too. 


=== Further Ideas ===
 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.


 Wyrd magic is the final subset of decay magic, and is often known as blue magic, or wyrdlore. The act of drawing power from wyrdstones, elemental ores that are prized for their magical energy. As the wizard draws power from the stones, they glow blue and all life nearby withers, corrupts, or mutates. The 'wizard's death' awaits any who practice this magic without protection and in some places permission must be sought before engaging in this field legally. (Uranium radiation magic)

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 15 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 24 years. 

Babies are raised communally, with the entire parent cohort sharing the loads of raising and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 15 and 24. 
Melinorati can live to be older than 200, but usually live to between 140 and 175. Senescence rarely sets in before 120 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 190 and live to see their 220's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Nations ==


== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 

Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a sapient species that live on Terracil. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 

Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

* '''Cheirosiphon''' - Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

* '''Fulmenous Phials''' - The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.</text>

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant.

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Threktovouni ===

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant.

- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

    <text bytes="4566" xml:space="preserve">The [[Ethyric Field]] is a collection of realms that exist as layers across the universe. It is from these source realms which [[ethyr]] originates. The many different realms are together known as the Ethyric Field or Ethyric Realm, and are rarely discussed individually but as a collective. 

__TOC__

== Fields and Realms ==
In physics, all particles and energies exist in fields that occupy space in the universe and contain energy. Individual particles are perturbations of specific fields such as a photon being a manifestation of a ripple in the electromagnetic field. Likewise, the many layers of the Ethyric field interact with specific physical fields in unique ways. These interactions result in manifestations within the Ethyric field, which is perceived by living organisms as Ethyr. 

An example is to consider Light-Ethyr. When the electromagnetic field ripples, the force is carried by a particle called a photon. However, the very same ripple also causes a ripple in the Light-Ethyr field, much as moving a blanket will move a second blanket placed above it. This ripple in the Ethyric field manifests as Ethyr, which is not truly a particle nor energy, but its own class of being somewhere between the two. As the field that was perturbed was the field of light, the ethyr manifested is Light-Ethyr. 

== Flavours ==
Depending on which field was perturbed, the Ethyr manifested can have a certain 'flavour'. The first main division is which of the four fundamental forces interacted with the Ethyric field. This decides which variety of Ethyr is manifested. Next, the precise interaction decides what flavour the Ethyr takes up. These flavours limit the Ethyr's utility, as flavoured Ethyr can only be used to manipulate fields the flavour is linked to. 

For example, gravity-ethyr cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the Ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of wyrd-ether that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In the earlier example of Light-Ethyr, the specific flavour would not have to be solar, as despite the name, this light does not need to have originated from the sun. Any source of photons can cause Light-Ethyr to manifest. However, the quantity would be so low as to not be detectable unless the source is emitting a lot of light. For this reason, the Sun is the most common source of solar Light-Ethyr. Fires, while also outputting sufficient light, also perturb enough other fields to flavour the Ethyr as fire flavour ethyr.

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

    <text bytes="7684" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white. 

== Sexual dimorphism ==

Content to come.

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, (just over half a year) and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 14-21 (17-25 EY) years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 22-28 (25-33) years of age. As many myaner count time in periods of 11 years (sometimes nicknamed a decade), this usually means they reach adulthood at 2 or 2.5 'decades'.

The onset of second puberty usually occurs at around the middle of the lifespan. This is often a period of a few years where the body goes through several physiological changes that mark a myaner as mature visually, and changes to the brain that allow an individual to be able to 'fast-forward' time. This usually is used by mature myaner to help get through menial tasks and prevent mental fatigue when engaging in routine and free up memories. This can affect an individual's ability to make memories during these times, as well as lowering social cohesion during difficult times. 

Lastly, some myaner species experience another, third, puberty, which takes place sometime just before reaching the latter quarter or fifth of the lifespan. In this change, the myaner who do go through this see major reshufflings of their mental faculties and cognitive ability. 

 To do with being able to deal with a millennia's worth of memories? selective memory pruning? LOTR ROP Elrond vs Durin inspo? 
 Also ability to manipulate their own perception of time. Perhaps second puberty allows for the blurring of weeks and months into mere days, and the ability to fast forward time, and third puberty unlocks the ability to do both fast forward and slow-mo perception of time simultaneously. This would be useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something. Great for observations, and associated with advanced wisdom in their cultures.

 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.823

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

'''The Old Ones''', also known as the '''Primordials''', or as various '''gods''', are little-known hyper-powerful individuals who either created or modified Terracil and its living creatures. It has been theorised that they were servants of the original One God, but alternate interpretations suggest they were hyper-advanced aliens with incredible knowledge of the [[ethyric arts]] or even entirely mythical.

The Old Ones' physical descriptions generally fall in two conflicting camps. The divinity camp usually favours describing these enigmatic and powerful entities as being composed of different types of effects such as flames, light, water, smoke, or even incorporeal sections, all in a usually humanoid shape. The other major group of depictions usually follows a trend of humanoid individuals wearing armour or a shell, sometimes with halos about them to show divinity. Some theories theory proposed by Jasnah Kholin interpret this as the Old Ones being able to change their appearance at will, to create illusions around their forms (and possibly create avatars using their illusory holograms), or that their forms bled back and forth from true bodies to manifestations of different flavours of Ethyr, reflecting how in tune they were with the Ethyr or their expertise in the Ethyric Arts.

The Old Ones were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being variously credited with everything from the granting of sapience and free will to the peoples of Terracil, to the creation of Terracil itself from nothing. Claims differ depending on the religion in question, but scholarly consensus seems to rest with the "Modification Theory", where the Old Ones did not create everything but modified what they found as they saw fit. Regardless, they are the foremost deities of the world of Terracil.

== Known Old Ones ==
There are many known Primordials, and they are known by many names according to the local languages who have adopted them as gods. Though the domains these gods govern may not always be consistent, there is usually some degree of alignment between what they are the gods of in different religious pantheons.

== History ==
 The Old Ones Arrive
 There came the day when the Old Ones arrived to this chosen world. They beheld the beauty of Creation and were taken up with awe. They watched as the world was formed and the seeds given life and all the ages of the world flew past, and they saved it to learn more about the creations of their God. Everything they saved was put in its rightful place in the Eternal Record, which resides up in the second heaven, and so that the people of the world might find it and learn of the beauty of Creation a place was set aside for the Eternal Record upon the land. These spirits then looked upon the people of the world and asked them what gifts they would have bestowed upon them They also looked upon the lizards and frogs of the jungle and thought them deserving of being people, and so they were pulled and formed and uplifted into people, with the spark of life within them being enriched as thought was breathed into them.
History 
 The peoples of the world had grown and built and lived long before the Spirits had arrived, but with their new gifts they resumed their lives with renewed vigour, skill, and knowledge. Some took to crafting ever greater tools, others to growing more beauty and yet others to yearning after more knowledge, but as always there were those who wanted nothing more than to enjoy what they liked at the expense of others. The Old Ones were no strangers to fights and love and feelings as they too had personalities of their own, but they watched on in horror and fascination as people warred and killed. The wisdom of the Creator echoed in their heads and they know that despite all the cruelty and hardship and death in the world, there was good and kindness and content, and the peoples would not be controlled, for control was a loss of their gift of freedom, but allowed to continue as they willed, knowing that good will always prevail.

It has been theorised that they were servants of the original One God, but alternate interpretations suggest they were hyper-advanced aliens with incredible knowledge of the [[ethyric arts]] or even entirely mythical.

The Old Ones' physical descriptions generally fall in two conflicting camps. The divinity camp usually favours describing these enigmatic and powerful entities as being composed of different types of effects such as flames, light, water, smoke, or even incorporeal sections, all in a usually humanoid shape. The other major group of depictions usually follows a trend of humanoid individuals wearing armour or a shell, sometimes with halos about them to show divinity. Some theories theory proposed by Jasnah Kholin interpret this as the Old Ones being able to change their appearance at will, to create illusions around their forms (and possibly create avatars using their illusory holograms), or that their forms bled back and forth from true bodies to manifestations of different flavours of Ethyr, reflecting how in tune they were with the Ethyr or their expertise in the Ethyric Arts.

The Old Ones were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being variously credited with everything from the granting of sapience and free will to the peoples of Terracil, to the creation of Terracil itself from nothing. Claims differ depending on the religion in question, but scholarly consensus seems to rest with the "Modification Theory", where the Old Ones did not create everything but modified what they found as they saw fit. Regardless, they are the foremost deities of the world of Terracil.

== Known Old Ones ==
There are many known Primordials, and they are known by many names according to the local languages who have adopted them as gods. Though the domains these gods govern may not always be consistent, there is usually some degree of alignment between what they are the gods of in different religious pantheons.

== History ==
 The Old Ones Arrive
 There came the day when the Old Ones arrived to this chosen world. They beheld the beauty of Creation and were taken up with awe. They watched as the world was formed and the seeds given life and all the ages of the world flew past, and they saved it to learn more about the creations of their God. Everything they saved was put in its rightful place in the Eternal Record, which resides up in the second heaven, and so that the people of the world might find it and learn of the beauty of Creation a place was set aside for the Eternal Record upon the land. These spirits then looked upon the people of the world and asked them what gifts they would have bestowed upon them They also looked upon the lizards and frogs of the jungle and thought them deserving of being people, and so they were pulled and formed and uplifted into people, with the spark of life within them being enriched as thought was breathed into them.
History 
 The peoples of the world had grown and built and lived long before the Spirits had arrived, but with their new gifts they resumed their lives with renewed vigour, skill, and knowledge. Some took to crafting ever greater tools, others to growing more beauty and yet others to yearning after more knowledge, but as always there were those who wanted nothing more than to enjoy what they liked at the expense of others. The Old Ones were no strangers to fights and love and feelings as they too had personalities of their own, but they watched on in horror and fascination as people warred and killed. The wisdom of the Creator echoed in their heads and they know that despite all the cruelty and hardship and death in the world, there was good and kindness and content, and the peoples would not be controlled, for control was a loss of their gift of freedom, but allowed to continue as they willed, knowing that good will always prevail.

{{quote|Incredible! It's weight is a mere quarter that of steel!|an armor-smith inspecting a sample of vitalium}}
[[Vitalium]] is a shiny grey metal that is much lighter than iron. This metal is not suitable for most uses when pure, as it is brittle and slowly withers away when exposed to water, as well as being dangerously flammable. Vitalium burns with a blinding white light.

It is often mixed with electricium to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Vitalium salts have been claimed to soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are traded widely by healer guilds to incorporate into bandages or poultices, as well as researched by mages who can use [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]]. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

Despite its high rarity, it has not been adopted as coinage anywhere due to both its irregular supply as well as its properties that make it less long-lasting than the usual coinage metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], or [[orichalcum]]. Although it is perfectly durable when alloyed with metals such as electricium, it is hard to work with which means it is usually left to the alchemist-forgers who have special techniques for working it into usable shapes and not minted into coins. However it is sometimes formed into uniform ingots for transport or traded with these ingots becoming somewhat of their own rare currency.

{{quote|The cows won't drink it m'lord, but it seems to heal 'em sores.|a cattle farmer from Meandres}}
A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

{{quote|sentence|whom}}
[[Electricium]] is a shiny silvery-white metal and is second lightest metal known, only beaten out by [[vitalium]] and is around a third of the density of iron. This metal extremely difficult to produce as it requires a hugely expensive process of [[ethyr]] and captured lightning that is very poorly understood. It is theorised that the ancient myaner empire before their fall perfected the technique and made great use of this metal and its alloys. 

Electricium has been recently mixed with [[vitalium]] to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

    <text bytes="5732" xml:space="preserve">'''Elfweave''' is a strong silk-like textile made from synthetic fibres. Rare and expensive, it can only be made in certain [[Sicai]] [[Crafttown|crafttowns]] on the coast. These fibres have a variety of applications from strings that can sustain high tension or be made into sturdy ropes, to weaved textiles such as silken clothing for high nobility or exceptionally durable padded arming doublets. 

__TOC__

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Kelp.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Kelp growing underwater with fish swimming through it.|Kelp is a vital ingredient for the synthesis of elfweave]]

Elfweave was discovered by sicai [[myaner]] circa xxx in a fishing village built around a crafttown. The exact circumstances of the discovery are not known, but what can be gleaned from the limited sources available suggests highly skilled craftsmen were involved in an experiment including crab shells and a particular variety of brown kelp. 

Modern manufacture of elfweave involves using advanced grinding techniques to turn purified and treated crab shell into the finest of powders. A type of gum is extracted from the kelp after multiple steps, and once mixed with water, the crab shell powder is added. The resultant mixture displays intriguing properties, as it can be pulled out and spun into yarn, and in the hands of incredibly skilled weavers, can be made into a fine silk-like thread. This can then be set in a saltwater bath which solidifies the string and gives it great strength. Though the ingredients are cheap, the process is labour intensive to produce the yarn, and the necessity of a crafttown's resources and a highly skilled weaver means the silk threads are incredibly expensive.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

== Uses of Elfweave ==
The spun fibres have many applications. The rough grade yarn can be made into tough ropes or heavy duty netting or fishing lines, as benefits the coastal community where such goods can be made. The medium fine grades also weave well into ropes, whereas the finer grades have more varied uses. Due to the expense, the silk-like fibres have become a status symbol in fashion, being used to form a variety of sheer skin-tight clothing from silken elfweave as well as varieties of water-resistant clothing. When the fibres are woven into a fabric, it is known as elfweave.

The strength of elfweave was noted and compared to that of spider-silk. When combined with spider-silk, elfweave fibres can be made into lightweight and incredible durable basketweave cloth that can be layered many times without adding too much thickness. A gambeson made from this variety of elfweave can be almost a third as thick and many times more protective, even imparting resistance to piercing weapons. 

=== Elfweave Gambesons ===
Due to the importance of such highly defensive materials, many Master Warriors make deals with sicai crafttowns to buy elfweave gambesons. These military-grade gambesons are manufactures specially to conform to the varying demands of the Master Warriors and the needs. Gambesons can be purchased to look like stylish uniforms, so that a commander can look the part while not miss out on protective armour, and to avoid the bulky feel of normal linen ones. Such suits are often dyed to match house colours or Warrior ranks or designations. Alternatively, elfweave arming doublets stretch from hood to heel and come with inbuilt straps to fit the varying parts of platemaille to. Such under armour weaves can vary wildly in colour as per the purchaser's specifications.

==== Ethyrmaille ====
The most famous use, however, is certainly the arming doublets specifically designed to fit with [[Ethyrmaille|ethyrmaille]]. These are thick, usually dyed black to avoid detracting from the spectacle that is a suit of ethyrmaille, and cover the myaner from the hood to the toes. As such these must tailored for specific individuals and have to be woven with care to ensure a perfect fit. Reinforced with elastic rubber fibres to form into a stretchy material, an opening in the chest allows the myaner to step into the legs, pull the arms and head over, before finally tying the opening closed. The arms end in gloves that can be partly detached if needed, hanging from the wrist. 

Further padding is usually added to regions such as the chest or head that require more protection from percussive blows. Every surface of the doublet is covered in attachment points for ethyrmaille, from the arms and legs to even special glove straps to attach the individually shaped plates for the joints of the fingers. The glove means a wearer is practically immune to the dangers of half-swording as the slash-resistant nature of elfweave prevents the hands from being cut even when grappling with the sharp end of a sword. If the ethyrmaille cannot cover a part of the body, such as the armpit or groin, chainmaille gussets could be woven into the doublet in these locations as a layer or hung on to act as a skirt. 

This makes every elfweave gambeson a unique piece of exquisite craftsmanship, from the shape suited to an individual's form, unique arrangements of extra padding and armour, and colours dyed into the weave. All in all this makes anyone who wears it not only a remarkable sight, but very hard to kill, and the incredible synergies with ethyrmaille solidifies the common idea that elfweave was divinely made for it.

[[Vitalium]] is a shiny grey metal that is much lighter than iron. This metal is not suitable for most uses when pure, as it is brittle and slowly withers away when exposed to water, as well as being dangerously flammable. Vitalium burns with a blinding white light.

It is often mixed with electricium to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Vitalium salts have been claimed to soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are traded widely by healer guilds to incorporate into bandages or poultices, as well as researched by mages who can use [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]]. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

Despite its high rarity, it has not been adopted as coinage anywhere due to both its irregular supply as well as its properties that make it less long-lasting than the usual coinage metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], or [[orichalcum]]. Although it is perfectly durable when alloyed with metals such as electricium, it is hard to work with which means it is usually left to the alchemist-forgers who have special techniques for working it into usable shapes and not minted into coins. However it is sometimes formed into uniform ingots for transport or traded with these ingots becoming somewhat of their own rare currency.

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
 Magnesium:
 - Brucite + HCl -&gt; magnesium chloride
 - electrolysis to get magnesium
 - when molten, MgCl becomes Mg and Cl ions 
 - cathode negative makes Mg
 - anode positive makes Cl gas
 - Elves can use magic rituals to pour 'electricity' into the system, which then separates the magnesium.
 - then add molten metals to make an alloy, producing super magnesium for light strong alloy plates for armour/etc. Essentially mithril!
 - maybe called vitalium? (Magnesia has healing properties)
 - lightning as source of electricity for electrolysis!
 - can only create magnesium and aluminium during thunderstorms and as the highest point around.
 - maybe only on mountaintop industrial centres!

==History==
{{quote|The cows won't drink it m'lord, but it seems to heal 'em sores.|a cattle farmer from Meandres}}
A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

[[Fulmenous phials]] are the standardised way of transporting ethyric fulmen by melinorati ethyr-guilds. 

__TOC__

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. They are a standardised unit both of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties. One of these manipulations is to harness [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|electric flavour]] [[light-ethyr]] to perform [[fulmenous division]] onto the heavily compressed air, which forces the air to transform into [[fulmen]]. This fulmen is then loaded into the phials and carefully packed to prevent accidents. Breakages or any method for the fulmen to escape its containment can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause severe burns, catastrophic explosions, or even death. 

=== Phials ===
The phials themselves are rumoured to be especially crafted to include key components that help to transfer fulmen both in and out of the phials for refilling and for charging items that require fulmen as fuel.

== Uses ==
== History ==
* Kovi fire guilds begin research into applying ethyr to create better flames
* The [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] is formed.

== References ==
{{Melinorati}}

 The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a 
module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

    Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

    Laminated Plate - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

    With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant.

    Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille.

    Laminated Plate - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

'''Fulmenous phials''' are the standardised way of transporting [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|ethyric]] [[fulmen]] by melinorati ethyr-guilds. 

__TOC__

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. The phials represent both a standardised unit of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units of usable fulmen much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties. One of these manipulations is to harness [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|electric flavour]] [[light-ethyr]] to perform [[fulmenous division]] onto the heavily compressed air, which forces the air to transform into [[fulmen]]. This fulmen is then loaded into the phials and carefully packed to prevent accidents. Breakages or any method for the fulmen to escape its containment can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause severe burns, catastrophic explosions, or even death. 

=== Phials ===
[[File:Plasma Canisters 002.jpg|thumb|right|A phial filled with fulmen.]]
The phials themselves are rumoured to be especially crafted to include key components that help to transfer fulmen both in and out of the phials for refilling and for charging items that require fulmen as fuel, as well as including special enchantment weaves to prevent the fulmen destroying the container or the courier.

== Uses ==
The main use of the phials is as fuel for various technologies ranging from weapons like the legendary ethyrblades or modern poiteiasiphons to industrial or metallurgic uses. In such cases, the phial is loaded into a port within the device before complicated machinery is used to direct, manipulate, or otherwise make use of the fulmen fuel.

==== Poiteiasiphons ====
{{for|Poiteiasiphons}}

These incredibly rare and expensive devices function by exploiting the fulmen in conjuction with complex enchantment weaves that require the operator to use pumps to compress air before performing fulmenous division, essentially making them small, mobile, fulmen-creation devices. The freshly-made fulmen is then ejected forwards after the operator compresses the release trigger. As the fulmen is new and not quality controlled in the same way the fulmen manufactorums, the ejected material sometimes is tinted different colours such white, pale blue, magenta, or purple. This is the reason for the nickname 'chromosiphons' that the devices have earned.

|unnamed high-ranking man-at-arms serving Kaidon Thel}}

Fulmenous phials are highly expensive not only to fill but create in the first place, so their destruction is a ruinous sorrow. However, sometimes the standard liquid fire throw-able pot is not enough and it is necessary to not only set something ablaze or blow it apart into scraps, but to render it non-existant. In these cases, a fulmenous phial can be loaded into a fulmen grenade. This is usually a sphere filled with explosive Kovi fire packed around a cylindrical slot that fits a phial. Once a cap is placed, the device can be activated and thrown. This is destructive enough to blow a hole in rock, empty a room, and even melt through steel doors. The area is showered in melted glass and ceramic shards even as the fulmen superheats the air and burns the surroundings. 

A modification on this design allows for the fulmen to be enhanced, making the grenade able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion, or used as directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

This is followed by triggering the phial to release its fulmen into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing as all weight is in the hilt alone. 

The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved in slightly slower sweeping motions it can melt through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Myaner ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica laminata harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields to resist flames and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of ethyrmaille.

==== Poiteiasiphons ====
{{for|Poiteiasiphons}}

These incredibly rare and expensive devices function by exploiting the fulmen in conjuction with complex enchantment weaves that require the operator to use pumps to compress air before performing fulmenous division, essentially making them small, mobile, fulmen-creation devices. The freshly-made fulmen is then ejected forwards after the operator compresses the release trigger. As the fulmen is new and not quality controlled in the same way the fulmen manufactorums, the ejected material sometimes is tinted different colours such white, pale blue, magenta, or purple. This is the reason for the nickname 'chromosiphons' that the devices have earned. 

==== Other Weaponry ====
{{Quote|When something needs to be destroyed desperately, every axiom vapourised and burned into ethyr, I request a fulmen grenade.
|unnamed high-ranking man-at-arms serving Kaidon Thel}}

Fulmenous phials are highly expensive not only to fill but create in the first place, so their destruction is a ruinous sorrow. However, sometimes the standard liquid fire throw-able pot is not enough and it is necessary to not only set something ablaze or blow it apart into scraps, but to render it non-existant. In these cases, a fulmenous phial can be loaded into a fulmen grenade. This is usually a sphere filled with explosive Kovi fire packed around a cylindrical slot that fits a phial. Once a cap is placed, the device can be activated and thrown. This is destructive enough to blow a hole in rock, empty a room, and even melt through steel doors. The area is showered in melted glass and ceramic shards even as the fulmen superheats the air and burns the surroundings. 

A modification on this design allows for the fulmen to be enhanced, making the grenade able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion, or used as directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

====Laminated Plate====
[[File:Fulmenous phials series.jpg|350px|thumb|right|alt=A series of phials in various stages of depletion.|A series of phials in various stages of depletion.]]
In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal from the wire. This is being investigated for uses in all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used, but it was discovered that a side effect of the method causes the metal to become purified and did not get deposited on the target as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

Furthermore, this method has been used to produce certain extremely difficult to purify metals, as the techniques requiring fulmen can purify metals that otherwise are inextricable as well as make it possible to cut, melt, or form other metals. 

With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha albium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. These techniques are being researched for possible applications in architecture and medicine, as well.

    <text bytes="7695" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the XXX island continent where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

Content to come.

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, (just over half a year) and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 14-21 (17-25 EY) years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 22-28 (25-33) years of age. As many myaner count time in periods of 11 years (sometimes nicknamed a decade), this usually means they reach adulthood at 2 or 2.5 'decades'.

The onset of second puberty usually occurs at around the middle of the lifespan. This is often a period of a few years where the body goes through several physiological changes that mark a myaner as mature visually, and changes to the brain that allow an individual to be able to 'fast-forward' time. This usually is used by mature myaner to help get through menial tasks and prevent mental fatigue when engaging in routine and free up memories. This can affect an individual's ability to make memories during these times, as well as lowering social cohesion during difficult times. 

Lastly, some myaner species experience another, third, puberty, which takes place sometime just before reaching the latter quarter or fifth of the lifespan. In this change, the myaner who do go through this see major reshufflings of their mental faculties and cognitive ability. 

 To do with being able to deal with a millennia's worth of memories? selective memory pruning? LOTR ROP Elrond vs Durin inspo? 
 Also ability to manipulate their own perception of time. Perhaps second puberty allows for the blurring of weeks and months into mere days, and the ability to fast forward time, and third puberty unlocks the ability to do both fast forward and slow-mo perception of time simultaneously. This would be useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something. Great for observations, and associated with advanced wisdom in their cultures. 


 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 0.823 = Terracil years (TY)
 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.823

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

    <comment>/* The Long Count */</comment>
    <model>wikitext</model>
    <format>text/x-wiki</format>
    <text bytes="16863" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tzolkʼin ==
The tzolkʼin or tzolkiin calendar combines months with days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are days of celebration or solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs ever eleven years in this calendar, and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two days between the final numbered day of Motli and before the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, and as such drifts considerably over the centuries. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.

__TOC__

== Hominids ==
[[File:New Evolutionary Tree.png|1150px|thumb|center|alt=An evolutionary tree, beginning with Homo and ending with all the extant hominid species.|The current evolutionary tree for the divergence of manush, myaner, and drokha.]]
=== Drokha ===
{{MainArticle| [[Drokha]]|}}

Ideas go here.

=== Manush ===
{{MainArticle|[[Manush]]|}} 

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

 Ideas go here.

The extant species of manush are:
* Ha''manune''
* W'ha''manune''
* K'ha''manune''
* Cha''manune''
* M'ha''manune''
* La''manune''
* Sa''manune''

=== Myaner ===
{{MainArticle| [[Myaner]]|}} 

Ideas go here. 

 Time perception - when matured past second puberty, can see time flow both fast and slow at the same time. Useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something.
 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

== Reptilian ==

=== Itzatecah ===
{{MainArticle| [[Itzatecah]]|}} 

Ideas go here.

 Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can see in sped up at the expense of needing extra rations later, whereas they can slow down their perception to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

=== Melinorati ===
{{MainArticle| [[Melinorati]]|}} 

Ideas go here.

 Will have the ability to alter time perception to some degree based on various factors. 

== Aquatic ==

=== Merse ===

Moonstone is a type of crystalline carbonate mineral that interacts with [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]]. Deposits are not common but can be found on all continents, and can vary in diaphaneity from transparent to translucent. Moonstone is most often a pale yellow colour, but there are known deposits that are tinted other colours such as red, pink, blue, or green, depending on metal impurities. 

== Properties ==
Moonstone has a glassy (or vitreous) lustre, and its colour ranges from pale yellow though shades of red, orange, blue, or even green can occur when the mineral is charged with impurities. 
=== Optical ===
Moonstone can be found in varying levels of opacity from almost completely transparent to fully opaque, and a vein may occasionally show phosphorescence or even fluorescence. One particular mostly transparent variety of pale moonstone is called sunstone and is often used for its optical properties of polarising light as it can be used to determine the sun's position even on a cloudy day to assist with navigation.

=== Ethyric ===
Moonstone is most well known for its ability to phosphoresce. This ability is taken further by moonstone than other minerals as it responds to light-ethyr and uses it to enhance its phosphorescence. On exposure to sufficient sunlight charged with light-ethyr, the moonstone absorbs it, and later begins to emit the light back with a soft glow. This is most visible at night as the lack of daylight allows the strength of the phosphorescence to be seen much more clearly. The colour of the glow usually corresponds to the colour to the stone itself. The glow can often be bright enough to see by even in the dead of night, and as such was named moonstone as it was believed to be of the same material as the moon.

== Use and applications ==
{{quote|Come nightfall, the streets begin to glow with the captured radiance of the moon. Polished and cut blocks of moonstone are set regularly between paving stones in the centre of roads and along curbs.

Moonstone is often used as lighting for cities, as the mineral can be carefully sliced and thin bricks of it can be installed along roads. Over the day the stones will absorb light if they are not in shadow, and subsequently during the night they will provide a glow to see by. This light is not as bright as a lantern, so it is rarely used as streetlamps. 

This lighting is still functional when crushed up into a powder, and is often used mixed into paint to create announcements, posters, banners, and advertisements to be visible by night. 

The ability to capture solar light-ethyr is also valuable to users of Ethyr, who will use bricks of moonstone as a battery to be able to make use of the Arts even during night time. This use does however drain the moonstone quickly as it cannot store large quantities light-ethyr. 

The link between moonstone and light-ethyr is also of considerable interest to researchers in illusory magics as crafting an invisibility cloak is a current objective of both Myaner and Melinorati military mage-scientists.

A transparent variety of white moonstone known as sunstone may have been used by Vikings for navigating on cloudy days due to its light-polarizing property. 

 Ancient Egyptians carved many items out of moonstone, relating it to their goddess Bast, whose name contributed to the term alabaster because of the close association. Many other cultures have used the material for similar carved objects and applications.

 High-grade optical calcite was used in World War II for gun sights, specifically in bomb sights and anti-aircraft weaponry. Also, experiments have been conducted to use calcite for a cloak of invisibility.

 Microbiologically precipitated calcite has a wide range of applications, such as soil remediation, soil stabilization and concrete repair.

    <format>text/x-wiki</format>
    <text bytes="16742" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Light-Ethyr]]}}
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Wyrd-Ethyr]]}}
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Gravity-Ethyr]]}}
The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal.

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Creation-Ethyr]]}}
The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="16746" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Light-Ethyr]]|}}
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Wyrd-Ethyr]]|}}
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Gravity-Ethyr]]|}}
The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal.

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle| [[Creation-Ethyr]]|}}
The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="16690" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal.

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list.

'''Fulmenous phials''' are the standardised way of transporting [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|ethyric]] [[fulmen]] by melinorati ethyr-guilds. 


__TOC__

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. The phials represent both a standardised unit of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units of usable fulmen much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Plasma Canisters 002.jpg|350px|thumb|right|A phial filled with fulmen.]]
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties. One of these manipulations is to harness [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|electric flavour]] [[light-ethyr]] to perform [[fulmenous division]] onto the heavily compressed air, which forces the air to transform into [[fulmen]]. This fulmen is then loaded into the phials and carefully packed to prevent accidents. Breakages or any method for the fulmen to escape its containment can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause severe burns, catastrophic explosions, or even death. 

=== Phials ===
The phials themselves are rumoured to be especially crafted to include key components that help to transfer fulmen both in and out of the phials for refilling and for charging items that require fulmen as fuel, as well as including special enchantment weaves to prevent the fulmen destroying the container or the courier.

== Uses ==
The main use of the phials is as fuel for various technologies ranging from weapons like the legendary ethyrblades or modern poiteiasiphons to industrial or metallurgic uses. In such cases, the phial is loaded into a port within the device before complicated machinery is used to direct, manipulate, or otherwise make use of the fulmen fuel. 

=== Weaponry ===
==== Ethyrblades ====
{{for|Ethyrblade}}

When deactivated, Ethyrblades exist merely as a highly ornate hilt. The hilt has room for two phials to be inserted and contains an emitter. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the enchantments woven into the hilt to form lightning-ethyr into a blade shaped by the specifics that the emitter was tuned for. This is followed by triggering the phial to release its fulmen into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing as all weight is in the hilt alone. 

The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved in slightly slower sweeping motions it can melt through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Myaner ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica laminata harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields to resist flames and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of ethyrmaille.

==== Poiteiasiphons ====
{{for|Poiteiasiphons}}

These incredibly rare and expensive devices function by exploiting the fulmen in conjuction with complex enchantment weaves that require the operator to use pumps to compress air before performing fulmenous division, essentially making them small, mobile, fulmen-creation devices. The freshly-made fulmen is then ejected forwards after the operator compresses the release trigger. As the fulmen is new and not quality controlled in the same way the fulmen manufactorums, the ejected material sometimes is tinted different colours such white, pale blue, magenta, or purple. This is the reason for the nickname 'chromosiphons' that the devices have earned.

Fulmenous phials are highly expensive not only to fill but create in the first place, so their destruction is a ruinous sorrow. However, sometimes the standard liquid fire throw-able pot is not enough and it is necessary to not only set something ablaze or blow it apart into scraps, but to render it non-existant. In these cases, a fulmenous phial can be loaded into a fulmen grenade. This is usually a sphere filled with explosive Kovi fire packed around a cylindrical slot that fits a phial. Once a cap is placed, the device can be activated and thrown. This is destructive enough to blow a hole in rock, empty a room, and even melt through steel doors. The area is showered in melted glass and ceramic shards even as the fulmen superheats the air and burns the surroundings. 

A modification on this design allows for the fulmen to be enhanced, making the grenade able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion, or used as directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

'''Fulmenous phials''' are the standardised way of transporting [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|ethyric]] [[fulmen]] by melinorati ethyr-guilds. 


__TOC__

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. The phials represent both a standardised unit of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units of usable fulmen much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Plasma Canisters 002.jpg|350px|thumb|right|A phial filled with fulmen.]]
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves. Thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on these maxilla mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves, thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on the maxillary mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

 xxx There is biological variation in the human species—with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across the globe. The typical height of an adult human is between 1.4 and 1.9 m (4 ft 7 in and 6 ft 3 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines. xxx

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves, thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on the maxillary mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 years ago had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

There is also considerable biological variation in melinorati — with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across Terracil. The typical height of an adult melinorati is between 1.9 and 2.3 m (6 ft 3 in and 7 ft 6 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines.

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

    <text bytes="6748" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

__TOC__

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="8707" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

__TOC__

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

South India: Basil, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Curry Mixture. Cinnamon

    <text bytes="10606" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== NA ===
The NA is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
==== The desert belt ====
A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

=== Itza ===
Dino Afr Itzatecah divided into the following bioregions:

==== Jungles ====
Dominated by Itzatecah
==== Southern Savannah ====
Itzatecah colonies
==== Northern Desert ====
Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons.

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

=== Spices &amp; Herbs ===
India + SE Asia:
South India: Basil, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Curry Mixture. Cinnamon
East: Ginger, licorice, sugar (cane)
Oceanea islands: Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, 

Mexico: Paprika, vanilla, cacao (from amazon?)

Iran: Hot arid climate. Coriander, Cumin. Cardamom. 

Mediterranean: Bay leaf, chamomile, fennel, lavender, mint, mustard (turnips, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, canola) oregano, saffron, rosemary, sage, thyme, dill, parsley. 

Jamaice: Allspice
Amazon: Cayenne
Central Asia: Garlic
South China: Jasmine

    <text bytes="10748" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

__TOC__

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== NA ===
The NA continent is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale about meli land}

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="11213" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== NA ===
The NA continent is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale about meli land}

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

=== Spices &amp; Herbs ===
India + SE Asia:
South India: Basil, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Curry Mixture. Cinnamon
East: Ginger, licorice, sugar (cane)
Oceanea islands: Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, 

Mexico: Paprika, vanilla, cacao (from amazon?)

Iran: Hot arid climate. Coriander, Cumin. Cardamom. 

Mediterranean: Bay leaf, chamomile, fennel, lavender, mint, mustard (turnips, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, canola) oregano, saffron, rosemary, sage, thyme, dill, parsley. 

Jamaice: Allspice

    <text bytes="11092" xml:space="preserve">The ecology of Terracil is on the whole usually familiar to someone from Earth, with some key differences. A mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. 

In response to the unique circumstances created by a different star and with ethyr available, the flora on Terracil evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the compliment of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist with green in more temperate regions, and as a result there is a mixture of colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling.

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== NA ===
The NA continent is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the equatorial jungles of meli land}}

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet.

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, making use of ethyr to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet.

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== NA ===
The NA continent is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the equatorial jungles of meli land}}

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

=== Spices &amp; Herbs ===
India + SE Asia:
South India: Basil, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Curry Mixture. Cinnamon
East: Ginger, licorice, sugar (cane)
Oceanea islands: Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, 

Mexico: Paprika, vanilla, cacao (from amazon?)

Iran: Hot arid climate. Coriander, Cumin. Cardamom. 

Mediterranean: Bay leaf, chamomile, fennel, lavender, mint, mustard (turnips, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, canola) oregano, saffron, rosemary, sage, thyme, dill, parsley. 

Jamaice: Allspice
Amazon: Cayenne
Central Asia: Garlic
South China: Jasmine
East Coast US: Sassafras (temperate wet climate)

* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="11892" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== NA ===
The NA continent is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. The NA is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the equatorial jungles of meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

'''The Old Ones''', also known as the '''Primordials''', or as various '''gods''', are little-known hyper-powerful individuals who either created or modified Terracil and its living creatures. It has been theorised that they were servants of the original One God, but alternate interpretations suggest they were hyper-advanced aliens with incredible knowledge of the [[ethyric arts]] or even entirely mythical.

The Old Ones' physical descriptions generally fall in two conflicting camps. The divinity camp usually favours describing these enigmatic and powerful entities as being composed of different types of effects such as flames, light, water, smoke, or even incorporeal sections, all in a usually humanoid shape. The other major group of depictions usually follows a trend of humanoid individuals wearing armour or a shell, sometimes with halos about them to show divinity. Some theories theory proposed by Jasnah Kholin interpret this as the Old Ones being able to change their appearance at will, to create illusions around their forms (and possibly create avatars using their illusory holograms), or that their forms bled back and forth from true bodies to manifestations of different flavours of Ethyr, reflecting how in tune they were with the Ethyr or their expertise in the Ethyric Arts.

The Old Ones were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being variously credited with everything from the granting of sapience and free will to the peoples of Terracil, to the creation of Terracil itself from nothing. Claims differ depending on the religion in question, but scholarly consensus seems to rest with the "Modification Theory", where the Old Ones did not create everything but modified what they found as they saw fit. Regardless, they are the foremost deities of the world of Terracil.

== Known Old Ones ==
There are many known Primordials, and they are known by many names according to the local languages who have adopted them as gods. Though the domains these gods govern may not always be consistent, there is usually some degree of alignment between what they are the gods of in different religious pantheons.

== History ==
 The Old Ones Arrive
 There came the day when the Old Ones arrived to this chosen world. They beheld the beauty of Creation and were taken up with awe. They watched as the world was formed and the seeds given life and all the ages of the world flew past, and they saved it to learn more about the creations of their God. Everything they saved was put in its rightful place in the Eternal Record, which resides up in the second heaven, and so that the people of the world might find it and learn of the beauty of Creation a place was set aside for the Eternal Record upon the land. These spirits then looked upon the people of the world and asked them what gifts they would have bestowed upon them They also looked upon the lizards and frogs of the jungle and thought them deserving of being people, and so they were pulled and formed and uplifted into people, with the spark of life within them being enriched as thought was breathed into them.
History 
 The peoples of the world had grown and built and lived long before the Spirits had arrived, but with their new gifts they resumed their lives with renewed vigour, skill, and knowledge. Some took to crafting ever greater tools, others to growing more beauty and yet others to yearning after more knowledge, but as always there were those who wanted nothing more than to enjoy what they liked at the expense of others. The Old Ones were no strangers to fights and love and feelings as they too had personalities of their own, but they watched on in horror and fascination as people warred and killed. The wisdom of the Creator echoed in their heads and they know that despite all the cruelty and hardship and death in the world, there was good and kindness and content, and the peoples would not be controlled, for control was a loss of their gift of freedom, but allowed to continue as they willed, knowing that good will always prevail.

    <text bytes="9306" xml:space="preserve">Manush are a sapient species that live on Terracil. 

__TOC__


== Description ==
Manush are bipedal mammals, possessing two arms and legs, 5 fingers per hand of which one is a thumb, and plantigrade feet. They have hair over their entire bodies, but most of it is light and almost invisible aside from areas like the scalp, genital regions for physically mature individuals, or extra secondary sexual features on males such as beards or chest hair. There are great variances between different subspecies of manush in almost all aspects. 

=== Types of Manush ===
The incredible diversity of manush subspecies can be categorised into seven broad groups, listed below. It is possible for different subspecies to interbreed, albeit rarely, and these half-breeds usually are absorbed back into the populations of one of their parents, carrying with them some minor elements of a differing bloodline. 

One example of this is how in ha''manush'' populations, there are races who have m'ha''manush'' blood and display characteristics such as adaptations for living at altitudes, or having an easier time putting on fat as a result of  w'ha''manush'' heritage.

Manush can on very rare occasion interbreed with myaner or drokha. The vast majority of the time such couplings yield no offspring at all, but there have been historical incidences of half-breeds who are infertile. There is also theorised to be myaner blood within the k'ha''manush'', which is what contributes to their unique physique amongst manush, as well as their greater lifespans.

===== Ha''manush'' =====
Ha''manush'' are the most populous species of human, and have more diversity than any other species of sapient people on the planet. On the whole, ha''manush'' are intelligent, built more gracile than most other manush species, and have an elbow joint adapted better to throwing items, an ability which has proved very helpful to their survival as winning combat at range helps avoid potentially fatal damage to their more fragile bodies. 

Ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and have puberty from 9-13, and are considered mature from anywhere between 14 to 17 years of age.

===== W'ha''manush'' =====
W'ha''manush'' are well adapted to cold environments and their bodies are more stockily built, allowing for better absorption of blunt forces. This makes them much more survivable in a fight against heavier prey or predator combat engagements. They also have more easily put on fat deposits which help them to maintain themselves in the cold. The w'ha are closely related to m'ha''manush'' and share many similarities. 

W'ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and encounter puberty around their 12th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 14 or 15.

===== M'ha''manush'' =====
M'ha''manush'' are closely related to w'ha''manush'' and share many of the same adaptations. They are similarly well adapted to the cold and while more stockily built, are less so than the w'ha. Additionally, they have significant adaptations for surviving at high altitudes. Like w'ha''manush'', m'ha can be distinguished by their strong brow ridges, large noses, and a prominent nub on the back of their skulls. 

M'ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and encounter puberty around their 12th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 14 or 15.

===== Cha''manush'' =====
Cha''manush'' are the smallest type of manush, at 3.5 to 4 feet tall. They are gregarious, and often maintain a strong community. Sometimes males have most of the body covered in hair except the face. While they have small heads and thus small brains, they are not less intelligent than other manush, despite the seemingly primitive traits they display, such as a lack of a chin or large premolar teeth.

Cha''manush'' usually live to around 90-105 years old, and encounter puberty after their 20th year. They are usually considered mature around age 26 or 27.

===== La''manush'' =====
La''manush'' are usually shorter than ha'manush'', but are usually stronger. They are easily recognisable facially as they have a much greater proportion of the face dedicated to the lower jaw which juts out but does not have a protruding chin, highly prominent cheekbones, and the distinct broad forehead and brow ridge that they share with the w'ha and m'ha''manush''. 

M'ha''manush'' usually live to around 55-70 years old, and encounter puberty around their 11th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 12-14.

===== Sa''manush'' =====
Sa''manush'' can be recognised by a wide face, possessing large eyes and nose and a large mouth, in addition to the strong brow ridge. The forehead recedes and is topped by a generous head of hair whose strands are often thinner than other manush. 

Sa''manush'' usually live to around 70-90 years old, and encounter puberty between the ages of 9-13. They are considered mature from anywhere between 14-17 years of age.

===== K'ha''manush'' =====
K'ha''manush'' are the tallest species of manush, and are rather unique in many respects. They are tall and willowy, much more gracile than even ha''manush'', and have features that verge on childlike, with their large eyes and mostly hairless bodies. They are agile and light of build, and are capable of running great distances though they are not as good at throwing as ha''manush'' are. 

K'ha''manush'' are known to be highly long-lived, usually surviving to see their 120s or even 150s. They usually reach puberty around 14-16 years old, but depending on culture may not be considered full grown until they are 17 or even 25.

=== Lifestyle ===

eeeee

== History ==

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs of the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The valley was populated by homo erectus, and as that species spread out across the lands to the north and south they discovered new places to live. Over time these populations adapted further to their new lands and biomes and diverged, forming the many species of Manush, Myaner, and Drokha. The Manush population exhibited the greatest extent of physiological diversity from the diminutive ''cha''manush, to the tall and slender ''kha-ka''manush, to the heavily built ''w'ha''manush. These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech. 

The early Manush lived in bands of individuals from small families around 10 individuals as seen in ''w'ha''manush to larger tribes 50 strong  as seen in the tight-knit social structures of ''cha''manush. It is currently unknown how ethyr users were seen or how they were integrated into tribes, indeed if at all, and it likely differs greatly based on which of the ethyric arts were practised. It is likely that growth, fire, and solar light-ethyr were the most commonly used, as these would have been the most useful to neolithic hunter-gatherers to justify the extra resources required. It is likely around this time that wolves were domesticated into dogs and incorporated as part of a tribe to help with hunting. 

It is theorised that the use of growth flavour light-ethyr was a major contributor to the agricultural revolution, as it would have been more convenient and beneficial for tribes to set up more permanently around food sources they could grow. However, due to limited lifespans, it is possible that these early farming communities fell apart and starved or otherwise abandoned agriculture once the druid/lifemage died. If this is the case, knowledge of agriculture could have been widespread and merely needed the right time, place, and population for a spark to catch and remain past the death of a lifemage, or perhaps sheer luck and multiple lifemages were enough to kickstart this new means of life. Other theories name climate change and the lessening availability of food to hunter-gatherer peoples as the main reason people took to agriculture. 

Once Manush began to grow their own plants for food, and domesticating goats, pigs, sheep, and cattle, the population saw a quick rise, leading to urbanisation and higher-density populations. This gave rise to the first cities. Due to the division of labour required for farming crops, raising animals, and managing an urban environment, class stratification occurred across many of these urban centres. The leading class varied between cultures, however, as in some places it was kings and viziers who lead urban planning, priests who lead through faith, or mages who wielded power through the ethyr and their importance to the steadiness of the food supply, or even a mixture such as the priest-kings of Sumer or the Mage-Priests of Egypt. Most of these city-states were governed by a monarchy or a council of leaders in an oligarchy.

    <text bytes="16632" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful tool for creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to cause objects to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] that can be used to do wyrdcraft. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to growing and healing, and is the most commonly used ethyr for enchantment purposes.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be for the range of its applications is not easy to predict. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so, and in some cases the specific source of the ethyr can key the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry flavoured light-ethyr and its subset of bloodmagic ethyr, which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic, chemical, and electric. Chemical flavour is itself technically the overlap of magnetic and electric and is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal.

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="26006" xml:space="preserve">The timeline of sapient species evolution outlines the major events in the evolutionary lineage of the modern human species, ''Homo sapiens'', ''Homo myaner'', ''Homo drokha''; the modern Melinorati species, Melinorati spp.; the modern Itzatecah species, xxx; the modern Shamlek species, xxx; and the modern Mer species, xxx; throughout the history of life, beginning some 4.2 billion years ago down to recent evolution within subspecies during and since the Last Glacial Period and the Old One's most recent visit.

It includes brief explanations of the various taxonomic ranks in the lineages. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; in cases of open questions with no clear consensus, the main competing possibilities are briefly outlined. 

__TOC__

==Ideas==
 Old Ones needed to visit at some point during development due to needing to direct evolution a little bit (elven traits, dwarven ones, Shamlek, Itzatecah, and other things they need to have gotten done) 
 Find the time that myaner and drokha diverged from manush and start before that point. Old Ones must come after divergence and after diversification, but before agriculture.
 The idea is to have the old ones skip the time from diversification to agriculture, so the other species do not go extinct during the paleolithic.
 Idea: the Ollie Bye map over time but with populations for each (sub)/species as calculated using Artifexian's XCL, crops, etc.
 
 Basic timeline - Old Ones arrive, mess with genes -&gt; species diversify -&gt; Old Ones come back(?) -&gt; agriculture
 
 Is the second return necessary? for what? To skip the possibility of the diverse forms going extinct, giving their populations a stabilising hand.
 Would like to have evidence of ancient religion before the Old Ones like Gobekli Tepe (11500 years ago). Is this possible? Probably not, but would be impressive. 
 Agricultural Revolution 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Revolution
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Centres_of_origin_and_spread_of_agriculture.svg

 Started at the earliest 12,000 years ago. Would begin with selective breeding of plants like cereals. Other places can begin later. 
 Perhaps this gives the myaner time to form their civilisations early. Their long ages help them to be able to retain knowledge and accumulate it more, so they develop quickly. Farming spreads across continent. Animals begin to be domesticated. (work out animals in the area! Spec-evo birds dominant? Yi qi dragons.) 
 Bronze age begins at different times for different regions, as irl. (Manush will follow real world timeline, myaner accelerated, and drokha and melinorati in the middle. Shamlek and merse will have to be fleshed out further at a later date.)
 Density of farming communities causes civilisation to start to urbanise. Cities pop up, with leaders who decide who does what labour and organises everything. Class systems begin. Forerunner rates have origins in this? Early rates would be farmer, crafter, defender/warrior, organiser/priest.

 Pottery, writing, smelting, and alloying metals are discovered. Elves encounter humans who are still in the stone age so these magic and metal wielding eternal people are considered impossibly alien and advanced. Furnaces can reach 900-1100 C which is enough to smelt tin and copper, but not yet iron with any ease (needs 1250 C). Writing systems emerge. Origins in pressing circles into clay like cuneiform.
 Slavery develops as economic model? Some kingdoms have centralised models like Egypt, others are decentralised like Mycenae. Trade routes for acquiring tin and copper are essential for running the civilisations, and provides impetus for control of these routes and sources. 
 
 Advances in magic due to lore being more easily accumulated over long lives, and passed along through writing. Results in spellcraft being popularised. Think about what a magic 'tech tree' might look like.
 Drokha make advances in enchantments. 
 Perhaps they ally to benefit both in their works, and create some of the cooler artefacts from their time e.g. ethyrplate.

An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting a circulatory system with a heart that also functions as a kidney. Acorn worms have a gill-like structure used for breathing, a structure similar to that of primitive fish. Acorn worms have a plexus concentrated into both dorsal and ventral nerve cords. The dorsal cord reaches into the proboscis, and is partially separated from the epidermis in that region. This part of the dorsal nerve cord is often hollow, and may well be homologous with the brain of vertebrates.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.4.16.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Some fresh water lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii) develop legs and give rise to the Tetrapoda.

The first tetrapods evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats.

Primitive tetrapods developed from a lobe-finned fish (an "osteolepid Sarcopterygian"), with a two-lobed brain in a flattened skull, a wide mouth and a short snout, whose upward-facing eyes show that it was a bottom-dweller, and which had already developed adaptations of fins with fleshy bases and bones. (The "living fossil" coelacanth is a related lobe-finned fish without these shallow-water adaptations.) Tetrapod fishes used their fins as paddles in shallow-water habitats choked with plants and detritus. The universal tetrapod characteristics of front limbs that bend backward at the elbow and hind limbs that bend forward at the knee can plausibly be traced to early tetrapods living in shallow water.

Panderichthys is a 90–130 cm (35–50 in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). It has a large tetrapod-like head. Panderichthys exhibits features transitional between lobe-finned fishes and early tetrapods.

Trackway impressions made by something that resembles Ichthyostega's limbs were formed 390 Ma in Polish marine tidal sediments. This suggests tetrapod evolution is older than the dated fossils of Panderichthys through to Ichthyostega.

Lungfishes retain some characteristics of the early Tetrapoda. One example is the Queensland lungfish.

|-
| 364 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.5.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. It is a candidate for being one of the first vertebrates to be capable of coming onto land. It lacked wrists, and was generally poorly adapted for life on land. The limbs could not support the animal's weight. Acanthostega had both lungs and gills, also indicating it was a link between lobe-finned fish and terrestrial vertebrates.

Ichthyostega is an early tetrapod. Being one of the first animals with legs, arms, and finger bones, Ichthyostega is seen as a hybrid between a fish and an amphibian. Ichthyostega had legs but its limbs probably were not used for walking. They may have spent very brief periods out of water and would have used their legs to paw their way through the mud.

Amphibia were the first four-legged animals to develop lungs which may have evolved from Hynerpeton 364 Mya.

Amphibians living today still retain many characteristics of the early tetrapods. 
|-
| 319 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.6.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First amniote. From amphibians came the first reptiles: Hylonomus is the earliest known reptile. It was 20 cm (8 in) long (including the tail) and probably would have looked rather similar to modern lizards. It had small sharp teeth and probably ate millipedes and early insects. It is a precursor of later Amniotes and mammal-like reptiles. Αlpha keratin first evolves here. It is used in the claws of modern lizards and birds, and hair in mammals.

Evolution of the amniotic egg gives rise to the Amniota, reptiles that can reproduce on land and lay eggs on dry land. They did not need to return to water for reproduction. This adaptation gave them the capability to inhabit the uplands for the first time.

Reptiles have advanced nervous systems, compared to amphibians, with twelve pairs of cranial nerves.

One branch is the Sauropsids, from which come the modern reptiles and birds. The other branch is Synapsida (Synapsids), from which come modern mammals. Both had temporal fenestrae, a pair of holes in their skulls behind the eyes, which were used to increase the space for jaw muscles. Synapsids had one opening on each side, while diapsids (a branch of Sauropsida) had two.

The earliest mammal-like reptiles are the pelycosaurs. The pelycosaurs were the first animals to have temporal fenestrae. Pelycosaurs are not therapsids but soon they gave rise to them. The Therapsida were the ancestor of mammals.

The therapsids have temporal fenestrae larger and more mammal-like than pelycosaurs, their teeth show more serial differentiation, and later forms had evolved a secondary palate. A secondary palate enables the animal to eat and breathe at the same time and is a sign of a more active, perhaps warm-blooded, way of life.

From Eucynodontia (cynodonts) came the first mammals. Most early mammals were small shrew-like animals that fed on insects. Although there is no evidence in the fossil record, it is likely that these animals had a constant body temperature and milk glands for their young. The neocortex region of the brain first evolved in mammals and thus is unique to them.

| style="text-align:left;" | First euarchonta. A group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs. Primatomorpha is a subdivision of Euarchonta including primates and their ancestral stem-primates Plesiadapiformes. An early stem-primate, Plesiadapis, still had claws and eyes on the side of the head, making it faster on the ground than in the trees, but it began to spend long times on lower branches, feeding on fruits and leaves.

The Plesiadapiformes very likely contain the ancestor species of all primates. They first appeared in the fossil record around 66 million years ago, soon after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that eliminated about three-quarters of plant and animal species on Earth, including most dinosaurs.

One of the last Plesiadapiformes is Carpolestes simpsoni, having grasping digits but not forward-facing eyes.

| style="text-align:center;" | 3.9.19.19.19.19.19.19.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First primates emerge. Primates diverge into suborders Strepsirrhini (wet-nosed primates) and Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates). Strepsirrhini contain most prosimians; modern examples include lemurs and lorises. The haplorrhines include the two living groups: prosimian tarsiers, and simian monkeys, including apes. One of the earliest haplorrhines is Teilhardina asiatica, a mouse-sized, diurnal creature with small eyes. The Haplorrhini metabolism lost the ability to produce vitamin C, forcing all descendants to include vitamin C-containing fruit in their diet.

Pierolapithecus catalaunicus is thought to be a common ancestor of humans and the other great apes, or at least a species that brings us closer to a common ancestor than any previous fossil discovery. It had the special adaptations for tree climbing as do present-day humans and other great apes: a wide, flat rib cage, a stiff lower spine, flexible wrists, and shoulder blades that lie along its back.

| style="text-align:left;" | Hominini: The latest common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is estimated to have lived between roughly 10 to 5 million years ago. Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precondition for vocalized speech in humans. Speciation may have begun shortly after 10 Ma, but late admixture between the lineages may have taken place until after 5 Ma.

| 4.16 Ma
| style="text-align:center;" | 3.10.18.14.0.0.0.0.0.0
| style="text-align:left;" | First bipedal hominins. A member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, northern Tanzania, providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism. 

It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. Compared to the modern and extinct great apes, A. afarensis had reduced canines and molars, although they were still relatively larger than in modern humans. A. afarensis also has a relatively small brain size (380–430 cm³) and a prognathic (anterior-projecting) face.

Australopithecines have been found in savannah environments; they probably developed their diet to include scavenged meat. Analyses of Australopithecus africanus lower vertebrae suggests that these bones changed in females to support bipedalism even during pregnancy.

__TOC__

==Types==
There are many types of steel, made in different ways and with varying other trace elements, ranging from natural deposits of iron being better for forming better or unique steels to purposefully included elements or ethyrically altered. 
=== Low Steel ===
The standard metal people think of when they hear steel is known as low steel. It is cheaper to make than high steel and of poorer quality, but is still a much better material than iron or bronze for arms and armour, tools, and anything else that needs to be long-lasting but not expensive. 

=== High Steel ===
When high lords and royalty request items from a blacksmith, it is usually high steel that they are provided with. The difference between a breastplate made of low steel for a man-at-arms and one made of high steel for a prince would be enough to convince onlookers that they are different metals entirely. More expensive and made with more time and effort, it is no surprise that the best protection money can buy is usually high steel. 

=== Starmetal ===

=== Crucible Steel ===
Crucible steel is steel made by melting pig [[iron]] (cast iron), iron, and sometimes other steels, often along with [[sand]], [[glass]], ashes, and other fluxes, in a crucible. In ancient times steel and iron were impossible to melt using charcoal or coal fires, which could not produce temperatures high enough. However, pig iron, having a higher carbon content and thus a lower melting point, could be melted, and by soaking wrought iron or steel in the liquid pig-iron for a long time, the carbon content of the pig iron could be reduced as it slowly diffused into the iron, turning both into steel. 

This generally produced a very hard steel, but also a composite steel that was inhomogeneous, consisting of a very high-carbon steel (formerly the pig-iron) and a lower-carbon steel (formerly the wrought iron). This often resulted in an intricate pattern when the steel was forged, filed or polished, with possibly the most well-known examples coming from the wootz steel used in Damascus swords. 

With a carbon content close to that of cast iron, it usually required no heat treatment after shaping other than air cooling to achieve the correct hardness, relying on composition alone. The higher-carbon steel provided a very hard edge, but the lower-carbon steel helped to increase the toughness, helping to decrease the chance of chipping, cracking, or breaking.

=== Soulsteel ===
 souls can be placed into metal through a little known and arcane process of binding the soul into the metal. While this can be done with any metal, the resultant metal is usually referred to as soulsteel regardless.

{{quote|A most baleful thing is wyrdstone. The wizard's death is a horrible one, made worse for it claims not only the fool mage who uses it.|Tearful-Embers-of-Flame}}

[[Wyrdstone]] is a type of stone that is valued by alchemists and wyrd-ethyr users for extracting [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd]], as well as being prized as a yellow dye for glass or ceramics. It is known as a type of rock or mineral but others suspect it may be a type of metal for which knowledge of how to extract from the ore is not yet known. 

__TOC__

==Uses==
Wyrdstone is used as a yellow dye for both glassmaking as well as ceramic glazes. However, in most areas it is much more highly valued than other dyes like [[cinnabar]] or [[cobalt]] due to it's unique wyrd-ethyr properties, and is often sold to wyrdmages who pay high prices to get their hands on the substance. 

It is also well known for being dangerous to one's health. It has been documented that wyrdmages die young to all sorts of maladies such as failures of the kidney, brain, liver, heart, or reproductive system. Most wyrdmages end up making themselves infertile due to their experimentations with wyrdstone. 

Acute exposure to wyrdstone can cause nausea and vomiting, fatigue, fevers, and flushes, as well as spontaneous bleeding before an inevitable untimely and painful death. Both this death as well as the eventual death of long-term exposure are referred to as the 'wizard's death'. 

[[File:Wyrdstone glow.jpg|400px|thumb|right|alt=Rock with glowing blue ore.|Wyrdstone glows blue balefire when wyrd-ethyr is extracted from it.]]

Myaner know of it as the balestone due to the difficulty [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]] has in healing the damages caused by wyrdstone. 

=== Ethyr ===
{{quote|Ahhh the blue glow and dizziness of success!|Unnamed wyrdmage}}
Wyrdstone is the source of the entire field of wyrd-flavour wyrd-ethyr and knowledge of this field is known as wyrdlore. A wyrdmage is able to draw out ethyr from the stone which causes the stone to glow blue and it can have effects such as making life nearby wither, corrupt, or mutate. This can be the goal itself, or the goal can be to use the ethyr extracted to form powerful spells.

==Wyrdium==
Wyrdstone was at one time purified into a metal, dubbed wyrdium, which fuelled the wyrd-ethyr wizard Xex Namius in his infamous exploits, and was claimed to be the source of his power. It can be deduced that wyrdium provides more wyrd-ethyr than wyrdstone does, and this use of wyrdium somehow slowly converts the metal into thanatium. 

==History==
The stone was first noticed by a wyrdmage in time forgotten as it was discovered to have wyrd-ethyr floating around it. It was quickly made a taboo due to the horrifying effects on living creatures in the vicinity when ethyr is extracted from it. Eventually it was used as a yellow dye for glass-making within historical times as well as for glazing ceramics.

    <text bytes="2720" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Copper nugget.jpg|400px|thumb|right|alt=A nugget of orange-brown metal.|A nugget of native copper.]]

[[Copper]] is one of the base metals, with unique properties that have made it remarkably useful over the milennia. It has a pinkish-orange colour and may develop a green patina as it ages. The colour "copper" refers to a reddish brown. Copper is used to make up many alloys, from [[bronze]] to [[brass]], and even is mixed in with gold to change properties such as malleability, strength, and durability.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Copper is mostly used as an ingredient in alloys like bronze and brass, and is commonly used as a pure metal. Pure copper also has antimicrobial properties and is often used for medical tools or containers for water storage for this reason.

Copper is also commonly encountered in minerals such as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and imparts blue or green colours. These have been used widely and historically as pigments.

Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing, oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina). Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments. Copper compounds have been observed to help protect not just against against illness, but also funguses like mould and it is sometimes used to treat wood. 

Copper has major religious and spiritual significance for shamlek. In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin, replaced by the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates.

==History==

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early use by myaner in several regions, from circa 6,900 BP. It was the first metal to be smelted from ores, circa 6,600 BP; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mould, c. 6,400 BP; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, [[tin]], to create [[bronze]], c. 6,100 BP.

Drokha also began to use copper before the Old Ones. Some texts such as the Codex Primordialis mention the drokha and metallurgy in conjunction with the Old Ones, and other texts indicate that the drokha had begun to smelt copper circa 6,500 BP. Copper moulds have also been found dating to 6,200 BP. 

According the legend, manush did not use copper before the Old Ones, but had began to make use of it by 6,500 BP, inventing bronze for themselves by 5,500 BP at the latest. It is probable that manush learned some secrets of metalworking from the drokha, explaining the long-standing association mankind have between metallurgy and their cousin species.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves, thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on the maxillary mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 years ago had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

There is also considerable biological variation in melinorati — with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across Terracil. The typical height of an adult melinorati is between 1.9 and 2.3 m (6 ft 3 in and 7 ft 6 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines.

==== Paralitori ====

==== Threktivouni ====

==== Vumentropi ====

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
[[File:Melinorati 1.png|400px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left). These individuals belong to the ''paralitori''-type, as judged by their greyer skin tone and less elaborate toughscale patches.]]
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves, thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on the maxillary mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

[[File:Melinorati 2.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of tan-skinned bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left) of the ''threktivouni''-type, as judged by their tan skin tone and forked toughscale patches with distinctive scutes.]]

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laving. The laid eggs will be placed together in a communal well-protected nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 years ago had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

There is also considerable biological variation in melinorati — with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across Terracil. The typical height of an adult melinorati is between 1.9 and 2.3 m (6 ft 3 in and 7 ft 6 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines.

==== Paralitori ====

==== Threktivouni ====

==== Vumentropi ====

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Nations ==


== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

The [[Ethyric Field]] is a collection of realms that exist as layers across the universe. It is from these source realms which [[ethyr]] originates. The many different realms are together known as the Ethyric Field or Ethyric Realm, and are rarely discussed individually but as a collective.

== Fields and Realms ==

[[File:Cosmic swirls.jpg|350px|thumb|right|alt=A galaxy of swirling colours and patterms|Cosmic swirls representing the ethyric fields]]
In physics, all particles and energies exist in fields that occupy space in the universe and contain energy. Individual particles are perturbations of specific fields such as a photon being a manifestation of a ripple in the electromagnetic field. Likewise, the many layers of the Ethyric field interact with specific physical fields in unique ways. These interactions result in manifestations within the Ethyric field, which is perceived by living organisms as Ethyr. 

An example is to consider Light-Ethyr. When the electromagnetic field ripples, the force is carried by a particle called a photon. However, the very same ripple also causes a ripple in the Light-Ethyr field, much as moving a blanket will move a second blanket placed above it. This ripple in the Ethyric field manifests as Ethyr, which is not truly a particle nor energy, but its own class of being somewhere between the two. As the field that was perturbed was the field of light, the ethyr manifested is Light-Ethyr. 

== Flavours ==
Depending on which field was perturbed, the Ethyr manifested can have a certain 'flavour'. The first main division is which of the four fundamental forces interacted with the Ethyric field. This decides which variety of Ethyr is manifested. Next, the precise interaction decides what flavour the Ethyr takes up. These flavours limit the Ethyr's utility, as flavoured Ethyr can only be used to manipulate fields the flavour is linked to. 

For example, gravity-ethyr cannot be used to heal wounds but can cause objects to temporarily ignore gravity. As another example, fluctuations in the Ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of wyrd-ether that can be used to do wyrdcraft.

In the earlier example of Light-Ethyr, the specific flavour would not have to be solar, as despite the name, this light does not need to have originated from the sun. Any source of photons can cause Light-Ethyr to manifest. However, the quantity would be so low as to not be detectable unless the source is emitting a lot of light. For this reason, the Sun is the most common source of solar Light-Ethyr. Fires, while also outputting sufficient light, also perturb enough other fields to flavour the Ethyr as fire flavour ethyr.

For this reason, the Sun is the most common source of solar Light-Ethyr. Fires, while also outputting sufficient light, also perturb enough other fields to flavour the Ethyr as fire flavour ethyr.

    <text bytes="18074" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
 This major group of ethyrs is characterised by its origin being the conversion of 

The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic and electric. The third, chemical flavour, is the largest and is itself technically the zone of overlap between magnetic and electric. It is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul flavour comes from the decomposition of ethyrs, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself. 

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
 This major group of ethyrs is characterised by its origin being the conversion of 

The main subtypes of light-ethyr are magnetic and electric. The third, chemical flavour, is the largest and is itself technically the zone of overlap between magnetic and electric. It is split into many subtypes depending on the source or applications, from fire and sunlight to photosynthesis and phase changes of matter, as well as numerous sub-subtypes of alchemical ethyrs such as bloodmagic.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul flavour comes from the decomposition of ethyrs, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself. 

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the equatorial jungles of meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the equatorial jungles of meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* Dragonblood trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? 
* Purpleheart tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* Bunchberries! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain?
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

=== Spices &amp; Herbs ===
India + SE Asia:
South India: Basil, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Curry Mixture. Cinnamon
East: Ginger, licorice, sugar (cane)
Oceanea islands: Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, 

Mexico: Paprika, vanilla, cacao (from amazon?)

Iran: Hot arid climate. Coriander, Cumin. Cardamom. 

Mediterranean: Bay leaf, chamomile, fennel, lavender, mint, mustard (turnips, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, canola) oregano, saffron, rosemary, sage, thyme, dill, parsley. 

Jamaice: Allspice
Amazon: Cayenne
Central Asia: Garlic
South China: Jasmine
East Coast US: Sassafras (temperate wet climate)

'''The Old Ones''', also known as the '''Primordials''', or known as '''gods''' under various names, are little-known, deifically powerful individuals who either created or modified Terracil and its living creatures.

The Old Ones' physical descriptions generally fall in two conflicting camps. The divinity camp usually favours describing these enigmatic and powerful entities as being composed of different types of effects such as flames, light, water, smoke, or even incorporeal sections, all in a usually humanoid shape. The other major group of depictions usually follows a trend of humanoid individuals wearing armour or a shell, sometimes with halos about them to show divinity. Some theories theory proposed by Jasnah Kholin interpret this as the Old Ones being able to change their appearance at will, to create illusions around their forms (and possibly create avatars using their illusory holograms), or that their forms bled back and forth from true bodies to manifestations of different flavours of Ethyr, reflecting how in tune they were with the Ethyr or their expertise in the Ethyric Arts.

The Old Ones were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being variously credited with everything from the granting of sapience and free will to the peoples of Terracil, to the creation of Terracil itself from nothing. Claims differ depending on the religion in question, but scholarly consensus seems to rest with the "Modification Theory", where the Old Ones did not create everything but modified what they found as they saw fit. Regardless, they are the foremost deities of the world of Terracil.

== Known Old Ones ==
There are many known Primordials, and they are known by many names according to the local languages who have adopted them as gods. Though the domains these gods govern may not always be consistent, there is usually some degree of alignment between what they are the gods of in different religious pantheons.

== History ==
 The Old Ones Arrive
 There came the day when the Old Ones arrived to this chosen world. They beheld the beauty of Creation and were taken up with awe. They watched as the world was formed and the seeds given life and all the ages of the world flew past, and they saved it to learn more about the creations of their God. Everything they saved was put in its rightful place in the Eternal Record, which resides up in the second heaven, and so that the people of the world might find it and learn of the beauty of Creation a place was set aside for the Eternal Record upon the land. These spirits then looked upon the people of the world and asked them what gifts they would have bestowed upon them They also looked upon the lizards and frogs of the jungle and thought them deserving of being people, and so they were pulled and formed and uplifted into people, with the spark of life within them being enriched as thought was breathed into them.
History 
 The peoples of the world had grown and built and lived long before the Spirits had arrived, but with their new gifts they resumed their lives with renewed vigour, skill, and knowledge. Some took to crafting ever greater tools, others to growing more beauty and yet others to yearning after more knowledge, but as always there were those who wanted nothing more than to enjoy what they liked at the expense of others. The Old Ones were no strangers to fights and love and feelings as they too had personalities of their own, but they watched on in horror and fascination as people warred and killed. The wisdom of the Creator echoed in their heads and they know that despite all the cruelty and hardship and death in the world, there was good and kindness and content, and the peoples would not be controlled, for control was a loss of their gift of freedom, but allowed to continue as they willed, knowing that good will always prevail.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

[[File:New Evolutionary Tree.png|1150px|thumb|center|alt=An evolutionary tree, beginning with Homo and ending with all the extant hominid species.|The current evolutionary tree for the divergence of manush, myaner, and drokha.]]
=== Drokha ===
{{MainArticle| [[Drokha]]|}}

Ideas go here.

=== Manush ===
{{MainArticle|[[Manush]]|}} 

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

 Ideas go here.

The extant species of manush are:
* Ha''manune''
* W'ha''manune''
* K'ha''manune''
* Cha''manune''
* M'ha''manune''
* La''manune''
* Sa''manune''

=== Myaner ===
{{MainArticle| [[Myaner]]|}} 

Ideas go here. 

 Time perception - when matured past second puberty, can see time flow both fast and slow at the same time. Useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something.
 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

== Reptilian ==

=== Itzatecah ===
{{MainArticle| [[Itzatecah]]|}} 

Ideas go here.

 Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can see in sped up at the expense of needing extra rations later, whereas they can slow down their perception to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

 They all have access to the hivemind-info domain thingy. They are able to use it to help their own brain power(non-canon?), as well as delve it for information like we do the internet, and they are able to use it to communicate, though most low level individuals do not have the capability to broadcast. This ability can be granted to itzatecah by more powerful individuals. Some individuals can be allowed to broadcast their entire field of view live and others may tune in to watch this. This is limited in scope, however. 

 The domain is a little like the internet, connected to soul-ethyr (wyrd) and creation-ethyr, and extends like wifi. Range can be extended by pylons that are often installed in the centre of a large city. Lizardmen will sometimes send delegations to build a pylon in manush, meli, or myaner cities to allow for a local embassy of itzas to perform with full functionality. 

 Results in skinks on missions far from home needing a local pylon to be able to communicate, and feeling out of their depth when not near a pylon. Also means the tour de lustria flying trip cours needs to be entirely within wifi range so the 'cameraman' can broadcast the trip. 

 Many different races with different skin tones from dark colours like black to warms like red and yellow, and cools like green or blue.

=== Melinorati ===
{{MainArticle| [[Melinorati]]|}} 

Ideas go here.

 Will have the ability to alter time perception to some degree based on various factors. 

== Aquatic ==

=== Merse ===
{{MainArticle| [[Merse]]|}} 

Ideas go here.

 different types based on the different levels of the sea - adapted for coastal, abyssopelagic, etc

    <text bytes="9253" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical aegis shield that protects them from incoming damage, the ability to heal wounds sustained, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost as though they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey metal, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour actually heavier than the very plates themselves, at around 2 kg without the straps. This lightweight metal is suspected by experts to be some alloy of [[vitalium]] and [[electricium]].

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are capable of such.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

=== Aegis ===
{{for|Aegis}}
Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the aegis shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This aegis is thinner and can be dismissed around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and is thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The aegis consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the aegis. This causes the remainder of the energy of the shield to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

=== Further Ideas ===
 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means for most, just the threat of a wager for it tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the many parts involved, Doing it alone can be very slow, though still possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, to a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before the arming doublet is donned or after it is removed.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

    <text bytes="9266" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical aegis shield that protects them from incoming damage, the ability to heal wounds sustained, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost as though they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey metal, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour actually heavier than the very plates themselves, at around 2 kg without the straps. This lightweight metal is suspected by experts to be some alloy of [[vitalium]] and [[electricium]].

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are capable of such.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

=== Aegis ===
{{for|Aegis}}
Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the aegis shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This aegis is thinner and can be dismissed around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and is thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The aegis consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the aegis. This causes the remainder of the energy of the shield to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

    <text bytes="5813" xml:space="preserve">'''Elfweave''' is a strong silk-like textile made from synthetic fibres. Rare and expensive, it can only be made in certain [[Sicai]] [[Crafttown|crafttowns]] on the coast. These fibres have a variety of applications from strings that can sustain high tension or be made into sturdy ropes, to weaved textiles such as silken clothing for high nobility or exceptionally durable padded arming doublets. 

__TOC__

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Kelp.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Kelp growing underwater with fish swimming through it.|Kelp is a vital ingredient for the synthesis of elfweave]]

Elfweave was discovered by sicai [[myaner]] circa xxx in a fishing village built around a crafttown. The exact circumstances of the discovery are not known, but what can be gleaned from the limited sources available suggests highly skilled craftsmen were involved in an experiment including crab shells and a particular variety of brown kelp. 

Modern manufacture of elfweave involves using advanced grinding techniques to turn purified and treated crab shell into the finest of powders. A type of gum is extracted from the kelp after multiple steps, and once mixed with water, the crab shell powder is added. The resultant mixture displays intriguing properties, as it can be pulled out and spun into yarn, and in the hands of incredibly skilled weavers, can be made into a fine silk-like thread. This can then be set in a saltwater bath which solidifies the string and gives it great strength. Though the ingredients are cheap, the process is labour intensive to produce the yarn, and the necessity of a crafttown's resources and a highly skilled weaver means the silk threads are incredibly expensive.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

== Uses of Elfweave ==
The spun fibres have many applications. The rough grade yarn can be made into tough ropes or heavy duty netting or fishing lines, as benefits the coastal community where such goods can be made. The medium fine grades also weave well into ropes, whereas the finer grades have more varied uses. Due to the expense, the silk-like fibres have become a status symbol in fashion, being used to form a variety of sheer skin-tight clothing from silken elfweave as well as varieties of water-resistant clothing. When the fibres are woven into a fabric, it is known as elfweave.

The strength of elfweave was noted and compared to that of spider-silk. When combined with spider-silk, elfweave fibres can be made into lightweight and incredible durable basketweave cloth that can be layered many times without adding too much thickness. A gambeson made from this variety of elfweave can be almost a third as thick and many times more protective, even imparting resistance to piercing weapons. 

=== Elfweave Gambesons ===
Due to the importance of such highly defensive materials, many War Masters make deals with sicai crafttowns to buy elfweave gambesons. These military-grade gambesons are manufactured specially to conform to the varying demands of the War Masters and their needs. Gambesons can be purchased to look like stylish uniforms, so that a commander can look the part while still prepared to don protective armour, or made to avoid the bulky feel of normal linen ones. Such suits are often dyed to match house colours or Warrior ranks or designations. Alternatively, elfweave arming doublets can stretch from hood to heel and can come with inbuilt straps to fit the varying parts of platemaille to. Such under armour weaves can vary wildly in colour as per the purchaser's specifications.

==== Ethyrmaille ====
The most famous use, however, is certainly the arming doublets specifically designed to fit with [[Ethyrmaille|ethyrmaille]]. These are thick and cover the myaner from the hood to the toes. They are usually dyed black to avoid detracting from the spectacle that is a suit of ethyrmaille, but can be made in different colours if requested. As such, these must tailored for specific individuals and have to be woven with care to ensure a perfect fit. Reinforced with elastic rubber fibres to form into a stretchy material, an opening in the chest allows the myaner to step into the leggings and pull the sleeves and hood over before finally tying the opening closed. The arms end in gloves that can be partly detached if needed, hanging from the wrist. 

Further padding is usually added to regions such as the chest or head that require more protection from percussive blows. Every surface of the doublet is covered in attachment points for ethyrmaille, from the arms and legs to even special glove straps to attach the individually shaped plates for the joints of the fingers. The glove means a wearer is practically immune to the dangers of half-swording as the slash-resistant nature of elfweave prevents the hands from being cut even when grappling with the sharp end of a sword. If the ethyrmaille cannot cover a part of the body, such as the armpit or groin, chainmaille gussets could be woven into the doublet in these locations as a layer or hung on to act as a skirt. 

This makes every elfweave gambeson a unique piece of exquisite craftsmanship, from the shape suited to an individual's form, unique arrangements of extra padding and armour, and colours dyed into the weave. All in all this makes anyone who wears it not only a remarkable sight, but very hard to kill, and the incredible synergies with ethyrmaille solidifies the common idea that elfweave was divinely made for it.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

== Uses of Elfweave ==
The spun fibres have many applications. The rough grade yarn can be made into tough ropes or heavy duty netting or fishing lines, as benefits the coastal community where such goods can be made. The medium fine grades also weave well into ropes, whereas the finer grades have more varied uses. Due to the expense, the silk-like fibres have become a status symbol in fashion, being used to form a variety of sheer skin-tight clothing from silken elfweave as well as varieties of water-resistant clothing. When the fibres are woven into a fabric, it is known as elfweave.

The strength of elfweave was noted and compared to that of spider-silk. When combined with spider-silk, elfweave fibres can be made into lightweight and incredible durable basketweave cloth that can be layered many times without adding too much thickness. A gambeson made from this variety of elfweave can be almost a third as thick and many times more protective, even imparting resistance to piercing weapons. 

=== Elfweave Gambesons ===
Due to the importance of such highly defensive materials, many War Masters make deals with sicai crafttowns to buy elfweave gambesons. These military-grade gambesons are manufactured specially to conform to the varying demands of the War Masters and their needs. Gambesons can be purchased to look like stylish uniforms, so that a commander can look the part while still prepared to don protective armour, or made to avoid the bulky feel of normal linen ones. Such suits are often dyed to match house colours or Warrior ranks or designations. Alternatively, elfweave arming doublets can stretch from hood to heel and can come with inbuilt straps to fit the varying parts of platemaille to. Such under armour weaves can vary wildly in colour as per the purchaser's specifications.

==== Ethyrmaille ====
The most famous use, however, is certainly the arming doublets specifically designed to fit with [[ethyrmaille]]. These are thicker than standard and cover the myaner from the head to toe. They are usually dyed black to avoid detracting from the spectacle that is a suit of ethyrmaille, but can be made in different colours if requested. As such, these must tailored for specific individuals and have to be woven with care to ensure a perfect fit. Reinforced with elastic rubber fibres to form into a stretchy material, an opening in the chest allows the myaner to step into the leggings and pull the sleeves and hood over before finally tying the opening closed. The arms end in gloves that can be partly detached if needed, hanging from the wrist. 

Further padding is usually added to regions such as the chest or head that require more protection from percussive blows. Every surface of the doublet is covered in attachment points for ethyrmaille, from the arms and legs to even special glove straps to attach the individually shaped plates for the joints of the fingers. The glove means a wearer is practically immune to the dangers of half-swording as the slash-resistant nature of elfweave prevents the hands from being cut even when grappling with the sharp end of a sword. If the ethyrmaille cannot cover a part of the body, such as the armpit or groin, chainmaille gussets could be woven into the doublet in these locations as a layer or hung on to act as a skirt. 

This makes every elfweave gambeson a unique piece of exquisite craftsmanship, from the shape suited to an individual's form, unique arrangements of extra padding and armour, and colours dyed into the weave. All in all this makes anyone who wears it not only a remarkable sight, but very hard to kill, and the incredible synergies with ethyrmaille solidifies the common idea that elfweave was divinely made for it.

    <text bytes="5917" xml:space="preserve">'''Elfweave''' is a strong silk-like textile made from synthetic fibres. Rare and expensive, it can only be made in certain [[Sicai]] [[Crafttown|crafttowns]] on the coast. These fibres have a variety of applications from strings that can sustain high tension or be made into sturdy ropes, to weaved textiles such as silken clothing for high nobility or exceptionally durable padded arming doublets.

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Kelp.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Kelp growing underwater with fish swimming through it.|Kelp is a vital ingredient for the synthesis of elfweave]]

Elfweave was discovered by sicai [[myaner]] circa xxx in a fishing village built around a crafttown. The exact circumstances of the discovery are not known, but what can be gleaned from the limited sources available suggests highly skilled craftsmen were involved in an experiment including crab shells and a particular variety of brown kelp. 

Modern manufacture of elfweave involves using advanced grinding techniques to turn purified and treated crab shell into the finest of powders. A type of gum is extracted from the kelp after multiple steps, and once mixed with water, the crab shell powder is added. The resultant mixture displays intriguing properties, as it can be pulled out and spun into yarn, and in the hands of incredibly skilled weavers, can be made into a fine silk-like thread. This can then be set in a saltwater bath which solidifies the string and gives it great strength. Though the ingredients are cheap, the process is labour intensive to produce the yarn, and the necessity of a crafttown's resources and a highly skilled weaver means the silk threads are incredibly expensive.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

An aegis is an [[Ethyr|ethyric]] [[Ethyric Construct|construct]], and makes use of special [[enchantment Weaves|enchantment weaves]] to distribute a field of warding energy that encompasses an object. Though the default shape is usually a torus or a sphere, through more complicated weaves, the aegis' shape can be customised thoroughly to even conform to the shape of a suit of armour (such as [[ethyrmaille]]), forming an extra layer of protection. 

== Creation ==
{{for|Enchantment Weaves|more information on how enchantment can be used to create an Aegis, see|this page on enchantment weaves}}
Mastery over [[enchantment Weaves|enchantment weaves]] are essential to creating an aegis. The creation process involves using the weaves to harvest [[light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] present in the region and convert it into a projection that vibrates back and forth extremely fast, extremely quickly, and extremely precisely. 

== Specifics ==
An aegis can be made thicker or thinner in regions to allow for maximum safety or for less restricted movement. It is usually thickest around the head and chest region, and this extra thickness means it is able to ward off more damage. Aegises must completely enclose an object, which makes it difficult to incorporate in static defences such as city walls or gates, but the [[itzatecah]] have been known to be able to create dome-like aegises to protect entire cities, demonstrating their more advanced understanding of aegis technology. 

This limitation also means that when an aegis is added to a suit of armour, it must be tuned so that it is thin below the feet or the man-at-arms will find their step unsteady as if they are walking on ice, and must be made thinner over the hands to allow the user to grasp and manipulate objects. For some soldiers, this downside is enough of a disadvantage that they will dismiss their aegis in order to have more solid footing or a better grip, but this comes as the obvious risk of being vulnerable to harm. 

Anything that impacts the shield is slowed down to a standstill by the aegis' energy repelling it and the energy heats it up, often melting or even flash vaporising the object it contacts. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. This does not affect the ground, as the aegis pushes back against the blunt pressure of the normal force without any explosive effects. 

The excess heat, however, is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to temperature changes. As a result, once an aegis has absorbed enough damage it automatically dismisses itself in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer alive. This causes the remainder of the ethyric energy to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr energy stored, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

== Advantages and Disadvantages ==
When armour is enchanted with an aegis, it makes the user more resistant to attacks that can cause harm. Although the user is made vastly more durable, this is not infinite and the aegis can be overwhelmed by dedicated attacks designed to do so. Massed projectiles, [[Melinorati#Cheirosiphon|flaming substances]], and massive blunt trauma can dissipate an aegis quickly. If the user is able to safely disengage and allow the harness to cool down and collect more light-ethyr, the aegis can recharge and make itself ready to be summoned again.

 Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.</text>

[[Petwer]] is a malleable metal alloy consisting of mostly [[tin]] with [[lead]] or [[antimony]] and [[copper]], and sometimes containing [[silver]] as well. Pewter has a low melting point and while orginarily silvery in colour, can have various tints depending on the metals alloyed into it, such as the bluish tint it gets when more [[lead]] is used.

__TOC__

==Uses==
As pewter is a softer metal and has a low melting point, it can be manipulated in various ways such as being cast, hammered, lathed, and engraved. It is one of the most common metals used for melting and casting, and is more often used for food-related metal items such as cutlery as it is less likely to result in lead poisoning than lead itself.

As some pewters do contail lead, eating acidic foods can cause the lead to leech out and into the food, resulting in lead poisoning. This can sometimes result in the food itself being considered poisonous even if it is not.

Since pewter is soft at room temperature, a pewter bell does not ring clearly. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==


==History==
{{quote|The cows won't drink it m'lord, but it seems to heal 'em sores.|a cattle farmer from Meandres}}
Pewter was first used around the beginning of the Bronze Age. The oldest pewter item found is 3000 years old, but it is likely it was in use long before this. 

Pewter was used for decorative metal items and tableware in ancient times, and came into extensive use in Petannia from the Middle Ages until the various recent developments in [[pottery]] and [[[glass|glass-making]]. Pewter was the chief material for producing plates, cups, and bowls until the [[porcelain]]'s discovery. Mass production of pottery, porcelain and glass products have almost universally replaced pewter in daily life, although pewter artifacts continue to be produced, mainly as decorative or specialty items.

    <text bytes="17765" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tenqakai'chahuotl ==
The name means the recording of time, involving the sun and moons, and is under construction but in use since the founding, which are all elements considered important to the holy activity of time-keeping for the Itzatecah. ''Tenq'' is the word used for recording or writing, and comes first as the [[Itzatecah Language|Itzatecah language]] prioritises the verb. The next most important element goes next, ''kahuan'' or ''kai'', as it means the passage of time and relates to things that are ancient, forgotten or lost, which represents the heritage of the calendar. ''Cha'' and ''hua'' mean the sun and moon respectively, and finally the ''-otl'' suffix denotes both founding and construction, which again ties back to the idea of the calendar having been founded long ago but still being under construction, as time moves inexorably forward. 

The tenqakai'chahuotl or tenqakaichahuotl calendar combines the months with the days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate the most that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are either days of celebration or of solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs every eleven years in this calendar and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons, a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two unnumbered days between the final numbered day of Motli and the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, and as such drifts considerably over the centuries. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.

    <text bytes="17824" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tenqakai'chahuotl ==
=== Meaning ===
The name means the recording of time, involving the sun and moons, and is under construction but in use since the founding, which are all elements considered important to the holy activity of time-keeping for the Itzatecah. ''Tenq'' is the word used for recording or writing, and comes first as the [[Itzatecah Language|Itzatecah language]] prioritises the verb. The next most important element goes next, ''kahuan'' or ''kai'', as it means the passage of time and relates to things that are ancient, forgotten or lost, which represents the heritage of the calendar. ''Cha'' and ''hua'' mean the sun and moon respectively, and finally the ''-otl'' suffix denotes both founding and construction, which again ties back to the idea of the calendar having been founded long ago but still being under construction, as time moves inexorably forward. 

=== Breakdown ===
The tenqakai'chahuotl or tenqakaichahuotl calendar combines the months with the days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate the most that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are either days of celebration or of solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs every eleven years in this calendar and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons, a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two unnumbered days between the final numbered day of Motli and the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, and as such drifts considerably over the centuries. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.

    <text bytes="17664" xml:space="preserve">The Itzatecah calendar is a system of calendars used primarily by Itzatecah of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from myaner, manush, and melinorati communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tenqakai'chahuotl ==
=== Meaning ===
The name means the recording of time, involving the sun and moons, and is under construction but in use since the founding, which are all elements considered important to the holy activity of time-keeping for the Itzatecah. ''Tenq'' is the word used for recording or writing, and comes first as the [[Itzatecah Language|Itzatecah language]] prioritises the verb. The next most important element goes next, ''kahuan'' or ''kai'', as it means the passage of time and relates to things that are ancient, forgotten or lost, which represents the heritage of the calendar. ''Cha'' and ''hua'' mean the sun and moon respectively, and finally the ''-otl'' suffix denotes both founding and construction, which again ties back to the idea of the calendar having been founded long ago but still being under construction, as time moves inexorably forward. 

=== Breakdown ===
The tenqakai'chahuotl or tenqakaichahuotl calendar combines the months with the days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate the most that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are either days of celebration or of solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs every eleven years in this calendar and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons, a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two unnumbered days between the final numbered day of Motli and the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, and as such drifts considerably over the centuries. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.

    <text bytes="17711" xml:space="preserve">The '''Itzatecah calendar''' is a system of calendars used primarily by [[Itzatecah]] of the Africa continent, as well as scholars from [[Myaner|myaner]], [[Manush|manush]], and [[Melinorati|melinorati]] communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tenqakai'chahuotl ==
=== Meaning ===
The name means the recording of time, involving the sun and moons, and is under construction but in use since the founding, which are all elements considered important to the holy activity of time-keeping for the Itzatecah. ''Tenq'' is the word used for recording or writing, and comes first as the [[Itzatecah Language|Itzatecah language]] prioritises the verb. The next most important element goes next, ''kahuan'' or ''kai'', as it means the passage of time and relates to things that are ancient, forgotten or lost, which represents the heritage of the calendar. ''Cha'' and ''hua'' mean the sun and moon respectively, and finally the ''-otl'' suffix denotes both founding and construction, which again ties back to the idea of the calendar having been founded long ago but still being under construction, as time moves inexorably forward. 

=== Breakdown ===
The tenqakai'chahuotl or tenqakaichahuotl calendar combines the months with the days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate the most that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are either days of celebration or of solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs every eleven years in this calendar and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons, a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two unnumbered days between the final numbered day of Motli and the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, and as such drifts considerably over the centuries. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

    <text bytes="13585" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the equatorial jungles of meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="13585" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the central lake-oases in meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="13831" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the central lake-oases in meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
By far the largest continent, Eur stretches from the W'ha island in the west to the eastmost point of Shimei, and stretching from the icy tundras near the north pole through to the mediterranean of the southern hemisphere at its southmost tip. 

Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

Athimar has been in use since 5000 BP as a major ingredient in cosmetic palettes as kohl is made from the material. It has also historically been used as a medicine. 

==History==
Athimar first started being used in cosmetic palettes over 5100 years before the present.

It also was found plated over copper dating to about 5000 years ago as well.

[[Copper]] is one of the base metals, with unique properties that have made it remarkably useful over the milennia. It has a pinkish-orange colour and may develop a green patina as it ages. The colour "copper" refers to a reddish brown. Copper is used to make up many alloys, from [[bronze]] to [[brass]], and even is mixed in with gold to change properties such as malleability, strength, and durability.

__TOC__

==White Copper==
There are several other types of copper that are known of, such as white copper. This is considered to be an alloy of copper and some other metal, but the metal is impossible to separate from the copper. [[Bronze]] can be made of white copper without affecting its properties too much, and learned alchemists claim that [[starmetal]] is in fact [[iron]] alloyed with this mystery white copper metal. This implies that this metal may form other alloys and there may be types of metal considered to be their own element which may in fact truly be alloys of this elusive metal. 

==Uses==
In the modern era, copper is mostly used as an ingredient in alloys like [[bronze]] and [[brass]], and is commonly used as a pure metal. Pure copper also has antimicrobial properties and is often used for medical tools or containers for water storage for this reason.

Copper is also commonly encountered in minerals such as azurite, malachite, and turquoise, and imparts blue or green colours. These have been used widely and historically as pigments.

Copper used in buildings, usually for roofing where it oxidizes to form a green verdigris (or patina). Copper is sometimes used in decorative art, both in its elemental metal form and in compounds as pigments. Copper compounds have been observed to help protect not just against illness, but also against funguses like mould and it is sometimes used to treat wood. 

Copper has major religious and spiritual significance for [[shamlek]]. In molluscs and crustaceans, copper is a constituent of the blood pigment hemocyanin, contrasting with the iron-complexed hemoglobin in fish and other vertebrates.

==History==

Copper is one of the few metals that can occur in nature in a directly usable metallic form (native metals). This led to very early use by myaner in several regions, from circa 6,900 BP. It was the first metal to be smelted from ores, circa 6,600 BP; the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mould, c. 6,400 BP; and the first metal to be purposely alloyed with another metal, [[tin]], to create [[bronze]], c. 6,100 BP.

Drokha also began to use copper before the Old Ones. Some texts such as the Codex Primordialis mention the drokha and metallurgy in conjunction with the Old Ones, and other texts indicate that the drokha had begun to smelt copper circa 6,500 BP. Copper moulds have also been found dating to 6,200 BP. 

According the legend, manush did not use copper before the Old Ones, but had began to make use of it by 6,500 BP, inventing bronze for themselves by 5,500 BP at the latest. It is probable that manush learned some secrets of metalworking from the drokha, explaining the long-standing association mankind have between metallurgy and their cousin species.

The metal can be found naturally as [[cinnabar]], a red pigment that is used for paints.

==History==
[[Cinnabar]] was used for red paints dating back to over 30,000 years ago. 

In some places, quicksilver use was thought to prolong life, heal fractures, and maintain generally good health, although it is now believed that exposure to its vapours leads to serious adverse health effects.

At least one emperor of [[Shimeisuraiku]] was reportedly killed by drinking a quicksilver and powdered jade mixture formulated by his alchemists intended as an elixir of immortality.

One of the sultans of [[Ahl-al Sahra]], known for his extravagance and profligacy, reportedly built a basin filled with quicksilver, on which he would lie on top of air-filled cushions and be rocked to sleep. He died of a number of bizarre diseases, including his skin turning pink and peeling off and his hands permanently tensed into claws. 

It is rumoured that under an [[Itzatecah]] temple-pyramid deep within the jungles of notAfrica, there is a huge subterranean lake of quicksilver. Known as the "Temple of the Feathered Serpent," the late is said to be surrounded by [[jade]] statues, mummified jaguars and avotheres, and the skulls of dragons plated with black [[iron]], [[starmetal]], and [[Copper#White_Copper|white copper]]. 

Various artisans have made wooden statues move by pouring quicksilver in the statue's interior. In mythology quicksilver could be used to give statues the appearance of having a voice. Cinnabar was use din ancient times as ointments as well as cosmetics. 

Itzatecah have been known to create pools of quicksilver under ballcourts. 

By 2000 BP mercury was used to make amalgams with other metals.

Alchemists thought of mercury as the First Matter from which all metals were formed. They believed that different metals could be produced by varying the quality and quantity of sulfur contained within the mercury. The purest of these was gold, and mercury was called for in attempts at the transmutation of base (or impure) metals into gold, which was the goal of many alchemists.

Quicksilver can be poured into bowls and used as mirrors for divinatory purposes. 

It can be poured into decorative pools or even fashioned into fountains.

==History==
According to legend, the sword was created through horrifying human sacrifice, blood magic, and even soulbinding. Over two thousand people were slain ritually, their blood captured in vast pools before being flame dried into ash in a ritual to Asharti. 

The drained bodies were also cremated and the resulting bone ash mixed with the blood ash before firing in a crucible. The result was enough iron to make a longsword, and infused with the strength of all the people slain through their bones. 

It is said that the sword still retains the souls of the slain it is composed of, with rumours circulating that one can still hear their whispers on the edge of one's mind, as they beg for release.

The last known user of Malice was &lt;REDACTED&gt;.

It is said that the sword still retains the souls of the slain it is composed of, with rumours circulating that one can still hear their whispers on the edge of one's mind, as they beg for release.

The last known user of Malice was &lt;REDACTED&gt;.

    <text bytes="7704" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the island continent of [[Lovyrn]] where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, (just over half a year) and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 14-21 (17-25 EY) years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 22-28 (25-33) years of age. As many myaner count time in periods of 11 years (sometimes nicknamed a decade), this usually means they reach adulthood at 2 or 2.5 'decades'.

The onset of second puberty usually occurs at around the middle of the lifespan. This is often a period of a few years where the body goes through several physiological changes that mark a myaner as mature visually, and changes to the brain that allow an individual to be able to 'fast-forward' time. This usually is used by mature myaner to help get through menial tasks and prevent mental fatigue when engaging in routine and free up memories. This can affect an individual's ability to make memories during these times, as well as lowering social cohesion during difficult times. 

Lastly, some myaner species experience another, third, puberty, which takes place sometime just before reaching the latter quarter or fifth of the lifespan. In this change, the myaner who do go through this see major reshufflings of their mental faculties and cognitive ability. 

 To do with being able to deal with a millennia's worth of memories? selective memory pruning? LOTR ROP Elrond vs Durin inspo? 
 Also ability to manipulate their own perception of time. Perhaps second puberty allows for the blurring of weeks and months into mere days, and the ability to fast forward time, and third puberty unlocks the ability to do both fast forward and slow-mo perception of time simultaneously. This would be useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something. Great for observations, and associated with advanced wisdom in their cultures. 


 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 0.823 = Terracil years (TY)
 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.823

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

=== Manush ===
{{MainArticle|[[Manush]]|}} 

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs in the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The Manush diverged into numerous subspecies, seven of which still survive to today. In their earliest days, the various peoples roamed the lands as tribes of nomadic hunter-gatherers and organised themselves into many different social structures. From egalitarian to strict class-based, and from polyamorous to nucleic families, the wide diversity of Manush peoples established itself early.

Over history this trend has only continued, with mind-bogglingly diverse peoples and cultures spread across every hospitable stretch of land they could reach.

The extant species of manush are:

Ideas go here.

 Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can slow down time at the expense of needing extra rations later, or they can slow down their perception (thus speeding up time) to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

 They all have access to the hivemind-info domain thingy. They are able to use it to help their own brain power(non-canon?), as well as delve it for information like we do the internet, and they are able to use it to communicate, though most low level individuals do not have the capability to broadcast. This ability can be granted to itzatecah by more powerful individuals. Some individuals can be allowed to broadcast their entire field of view live and others may tune in to watch this. This is limited in scope, however. 

 The domain is a little like the internet, connected to soul-ethyr (wyrd) and creation-ethyr, and extends like wifi. Range can be extended by pylons that are often installed in the centre of a large city. Lizardmen will sometimes send delegations to build a pylon in manush, meli, or myaner cities to allow for a local embassy of itzas to perform with full functionality. 

 Results in skinks on missions far from home needing a local pylon to be able to communicate, and feeling out of their depth when not near a pylon. Also means the tour de lustria flying trip cours needs to be entirely within wifi range so the 'cameraman' can broadcast the trip.

'''Fulmenous phials''' are the standardised way of transporting [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|ethyric]] [[fulmen]] by melinorati ethyr-guilds. 


__TOC__

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. The phials represent both a standardised unit of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units of usable fulmen much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Plasma Canisters 002.jpg|350px|thumb|right|A phial filled with fulmen.]]
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties. One of these manipulations is to harness [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|electric flavour]] [[light-ethyr]] to perform [[fulmenous division]] onto the heavily compressed air, which forces the air to transform into [[fulmen]]. This fulmen is then loaded into the phials and carefully packed to prevent accidents. Breakages or any method for the fulmen to escape its containment can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause severe burns, catastrophic explosions, or even death. 

=== Phials ===
The phials themselves are rumoured to be especially crafted to include key components that help to transfer fulmen both in and out of the phials for refilling and for charging items that require fulmen as fuel, as well as including special enchantment weaves to prevent the fulmen destroying the container or the courier.

== Uses ==
The main use of the phials is as fuel for various technologies ranging from weapons like the legendary ethyrblades or modern poiteiasiphons to industrial or metallurgic uses. In such cases, the phial is loaded into a port within the device before complicated machinery is used to direct, manipulate, or otherwise make use of the fulmen fuel. 

=== Weaponry ===
==== Ethyrblades ====
{{for|Ethyrblade}}

When deactivated, Ethyrblades exist merely as a highly ornate hilt. The hilt has room for two phials to be inserted and contains an emitter. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the enchantments woven into the hilt to form lightning-ethyr into a blade shaped by the specifics that the emitter was tuned for. This is followed by triggering the phial to release its fulmen into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing as all weight is in the hilt alone. 

The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved in slightly slower sweeping motions it can melt through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Myaner ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica laminata harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields to resist flames and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of ethyrmaille.

==== Poiteiasiphons ====
{{for|Poiteiasiphons}}

These incredibly rare and expensive devices function by exploiting the fulmen in conjuction with complex enchantment weaves that require the operator to use pumps to compress air before performing fulmenous division, essentially making them small, mobile, fulmen-creation devices. The freshly-made fulmen is then ejected forwards after the operator compresses the release trigger. As the fulmen is new and not quality controlled in the same way the fulmen manufactorums, the ejected material sometimes is tinted different colours such white, pale blue, magenta, or purple. This is the reason for the nickname 'chromosiphons' that the devices have earned. 

==== Other Weaponry ====
{{Quote|When something needs to be destroyed desperately - every axiom vapourised and burned into ethyr - I request a fulmen grenade.
|unnamed high-ranking man-at-arms serving Kaidon Thel}}

Fulmenous phials are highly expensive not only to fill but create in the first place, so their destruction is a ruinous sorrow. However, sometimes the standard liquid fire throw-able pot is not enough and it is necessary to not only set something ablaze or blow it apart into scraps, but to render it non-existant. In these cases, a fulmenous phial can be loaded into a fulmen grenade. This is usually a sphere filled with explosive Kovi fire packed around a cylindrical slot that fits a phial. Once a cap is placed, the device can be activated and thrown. This is destructive enough to blow a hole in rock, empty a room, and even melt through steel doors. The area is showered in melted glass and ceramic shards even as the fulmen superheats the air and burns the surroundings. 

A modification on this design allows for the fulmen to be enhanced, making the grenade able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion, or used as directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

=== Industry ===
====Laminated Plate====
[[File:Fulmenous phials series.jpg|350px|thumb|right|alt=A series of phials in various stages of depletion.|A series of phials in various stages of depletion.]]
In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal from the wire. This is being investigated for uses in all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used, but it was discovered that a side effect of the method causes the metal to become purified and did not get deposited on the target as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

====Metallurgy====
Furthermore, this method has been used to produce certain extremely difficult to purify metals, as the techniques requiring fulmen can purify metals that otherwise are inextricable as well as make it possible to cut, melt, or form other metals. 

With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha albium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. These techniques are being researched for possible applications in architecture and medicine, as well.

== History ==
* Kovi fire guilds begin research into applying ethyr to create better flames
* The [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] is formed.

These incredibly rare and expensive devices function by exploiting the fulmen in conjuction with complex enchantment weaves that require the operator to use pumps to compress air before performing fulmenous division, essentially making them small, mobile, fulmen-creation devices. The freshly-made fulmen is then ejected forwards after the operator compresses the release trigger. As the fulmen is new and not quality-controlled in the same way the fulmen manufactorums do, the ejecta is sometimes tinted different colours such white, pale blue, magenta, or purple.

Fulmenous phials are highly expensive not only to fill but create in the first place, so their destruction is a ruinous sorrow. However, sometimes the standard liquid fire throw-able pot is not enough and it is necessary to not only set something ablaze or blow it apart into scraps, but to render it non-existant. In these cases, a fulmenous phial can be loaded into a fulmen grenade. This is usually a sphere filled with explosive Kovi fire packed around a cylindrical slot that fits a phial. Once a cap is placed, the device can be activated and thrown. This is destructive enough to blow a hole in rock, empty a room, and even melt through steel doors. The area is showered in melted glass and ceramic shards even as the fulmen superheats the air and burns the surroundings. 

A modification on this design allows for the fulmen to be enhanced, making the grenade able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion, or used as directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal from the wire. This is being investigated for uses in all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used, but it was discovered that a side effect of the method causes the metal to become purified and did not get deposited on the target as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

'''Fulmenous phials''' are the standardised way of transporting [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|ethyric]] [[fulmen]] by melinorati ethyr-guilds. 


__TOC__

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. The phials represent both a standardised unit of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units of usable fulmen much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Plasma Canisters 002.jpg|350px|thumb|right|A phial filled with fulmen.]]
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties. One of these manipulations is to harness [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|electric flavour]] [[light-ethyr]] to perform [[fulmenous division]] onto the heavily compressed air, which forces the air to transform into [[fulmen]]. This fulmen is then loaded into the phials and carefully packed to prevent accidents. Breakages or any method for the fulmen to escape its containment can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause severe burns, catastrophic explosions, or even death. 

=== Phials ===
The phials themselves are rumoured to be especially crafted to include key components that help to transfer fulmen both in and out of the phials for refilling and for charging items that require fulmen as fuel, as well as including special enchantment weaves to prevent the fulmen destroying the container or the courier.

== Uses ==
The main use of the phials is as fuel for various technologies ranging from weapons like the legendary ethyrblades or modern poiteiasiphons to industrial or metallurgic uses. In such cases, the phial is loaded into a port within the device before complicated machinery is used to direct, manipulate, or otherwise make use of the fulmen fuel. 

=== Weaponry ===
==== Ethyrblades ====
{{for|Ethyrblade}}

When deactivated, Ethyrblades exist merely as a highly ornate hilt. The hilt has room for two phials to be inserted and contains an emitter. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the enchantments woven into the hilt to form lightning-ethyr into a blade shaped by the specifics that the emitter was tuned for. This is followed by triggering the phial to release its fulmen into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing as all weight is in the hilt alone. 

The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved in slightly slower sweeping motions it can melt through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Myaner ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica laminata harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields to resist flames and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of ethyrmaille.

== Description ==
Fulmenous phials are usually cylindrical glass phials which are filled with [[fulmen]]. The phials represent both a standardised unit of measuring volumes of fulmen as well as transportable units of usable fulmen much like an ingot is for metals.

These phials are crafted according to the guidelines set out by the secretive and exclusive [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] and are adhered to by all four established fulmen manufacturers trusted with the recipe and facilities needed to create fulmen. 

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Plasma Canisters 002.jpg|350px|thumb|right|A phial filled with fulmen.]]
The initial discovery of the process to create fulmen is not known, but some insight can be gleaned from the known history of the individuals involved as well as their associations. It is most likely that the ancient guilds researching Kovi fire began to explore down the avenue of ethyric research and eventually somehow stumbled upon the creation of fulmen after discovering that air can be stripped of its electricity in a process named [[Fulmenous Division|fulmenous division]]. This process was eventually refined and though many of the details and key fragments of knowledge are not known (or kept as very carefully guarded secrets), the general process is outlined below.

When air is trapped in a specially created container it can be subjected to various manipulations in order to affect its properties. One of these manipulations is to harness [[Light-Ethyr#Electric|electric flavour]] [[light-ethyr]] to perform [[fulmenous division]] onto the heavily compressed air, which forces the air to transform into [[fulmen]]. This fulmen is then loaded into the phials and carefully packed to prevent accidents. Breakages or any method for the fulmen to escape its containment can be extremely dangerous, as it can cause severe burns, catastrophic explosions, or even death. 

=== Phials ===
The phials themselves are rumoured to be especially crafted to include key components that help to transfer fulmen both in and out of the phials for refilling and for charging items that require fulmen as fuel, as well as including special enchantment weaves to prevent the fulmen destroying the container or the courier.

== Uses ==
The main use of the phials is as fuel for various technologies ranging from weapons like the legendary ethyrblades or modern poiteiasiphons to industrial or metallurgic uses. In such cases, the phial is loaded into a port within the device before complicated machinery is used to direct, manipulate, or otherwise make use of the fulmen fuel. 

=== Weaponry ===
==== Ethyrblades ====
{{for|Ethyrblade}}

When deactivated, Ethyrblades exist merely as a highly ornate hilt. The hilt has room for two phials to be inserted and contains an emitter. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the enchantments woven into the hilt to form lightning-ethyr into a blade shaped by the specifics that the emitter was tuned for. This is followed by triggering the phial to release its fulmen into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing as all weight is in the hilt alone. 

The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved in slightly slower sweeping motions it can melt through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Myaner ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica laminata harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields to resist flames and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of ethyrmaille.

==== Poiteiasiphons ====
{{for|Poiteiasiphons}}

These incredibly rare and expensive devices function by exploiting the fulmen in conjuction with complex enchantment weaves that require the operator to use pumps to compress air before performing fulmenous division, essentially making them small, mobile, fulmen-creation devices. The freshly-made fulmen is then ejected forwards after the operator compresses the release trigger. As the fulmen is new and not quality-controlled in the same way the fulmen manufactorums do, the ejecta is sometimes tinted different colours such white, pale blue, magenta, or purple. This is the reason for the nickname 'chromosiphons' that the devices have earned.

Fulmenous phials are highly expensive not only to fill but create in the first place, so their destruction is a ruinous sorrow. However, sometimes a standard liquid-fire throwable pot is insufficient and it is necessary to not only set something ablaze or blow it apart into scraps, but to render it non-existant. In these cases, a fulmenous phial can be loaded into a fulmen grenade. This is usually a sphere filled with explosive Kovi fire packed around a cylindrical slot that fits a phial. Once a cap is placed, the device can be activated and thrown. This is destructive enough to blow a hole in rock, empty a room, and even melt through steel doors. The area is showered in melted glass and ceramic shards even as the fulmen superheats the air and burns the surroundings. 

A modification on this design allows for the fulmen to be enhanced, making the grenade able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion, or used as directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive - and almost as dangerous to the wielder as to their foe - as a result of their terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal from the wire. This is being investigated for uses in all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used, but it was discovered that a side effect of the method causes the metal to become purified and did not get deposited on the target as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

====Metallurgy====
Furthermore, this method has been used to produce certain extremely difficult to purify metals, as the techniques requiring fulmen can purify metals that otherwise are inextricable as well as make it possible to cut, melt, or form other metals. 

With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha albium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. These techniques are being researched for possible applications in architecture and medicine, as well.

== History ==
* Kovi fire guilds begin research into applying ethyr to create better flames
* The [[Fulmen Ethyric Guild]] is formed.

The armour is characterised by its unique manufacturing process as it is composed of hundreds to sometimes thousands of incredibly thin layers of metals. The metals used are often varied and range from base metals like [[iron]] or [[copper]] to ethyric ones such as [[orichalcum]] or [[vitalium]]. The metals are often layered on an existing steel plate to give the piece structure and strength, with the lamination adding layers that affect the strength or colour of the finished piece. Finally, the last layer is often a clear laquer to keep the other layers secure. 

==Appearance==
Laminated plate can vary considerably in appearance, as the topmost layers affect the end result the most. Some sets will look like standard [[steel]] [[Plate Armour|plate]], perhaps with variations in lightness or darkness, while others may be specially crafted to have a particular colour sheen, either to denote alliegance or even rank. 

It is common for higher ranked warriors or generals to commission sets that have the final layers composed of [[gold]] to shine and stand out, to make recognising them easier on the battlefield and for the opportunity to show off the fact they have worked their way to such a prestigious rank.

==Properties==
Laminated plate is not dissimilar to ordinary plate, as it can range from relatively cheaper lower-quality mass-produced armours for outfitting a keep's garrison to high-quality one-off works of art that provide the best protection money can buy that isn't [[ethyrplate]]. 

The layers of metal used do have an effect on the properties of the armour. If the layers are applied in a certain order and composing of certain metals there can be certain synergistic effects that are currently still poorly understood. These effects can cause the armour to better resist deformation, deflect force, have a specified tinted sheen to the metal, or other aesthetic considerations.

== Shroud/Ghost/Wraith Lamination ==
The Ethyric Guild have recently discovered a method of laminating that can cause a piece of plate to react strangely to light in that it seems to bend or blur it. Experiments are ongoing on creating a full suit covered in this coating that could potentially allow a fully armoured warrior to be able to pass without trace much like the legendary ronin of Petannia or the Ghost Phalangites that myaner forces are known to field on rare occasion.

One top scholar in the guild indicated that it is his belief that the coating they have developed is in fact the very same technology the Ghost Phalangites use in their shields, and that applying it to the curved surfaces of plate armour is a huge leap forward in [[Ethyric Construct|ethyric construct]] technology compared to the flat surface of the [[myaner]] shields. 

==Creation==
The first steps to the creation of laminated plate began with the [[melinorati]] capture of [[drohka]] anti-pressure technology and its subsequent reverse-engineering. Once experimentation began, it was discovered that if [[Fulmen|fulmenous ethyr]] was run through a thin wire within an anti-pressure chamber, the wire would be consumed but everything inside the chamber would become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal the wire was composed of.

Further experimentation unveiled that a side effect of this is that alloys cannot be used to coat things in this way as the method unalloys the wire, purifying the metal. This method has proven too expensive for wide-scale purification of metals, as all other applications do not need such levels of purity. 

Once a piece of plate armour has been placed into an anti-pressure chamber, a wire spun from the chosen metal is selected and placed within the chamber, usually looped into a spiral around the armour, and with one end exposed outside the chamber. Once the chamber is closed and the anti-pressure within built up to the requisite amount, fulmenous ethyr is applied to the exposed end of the wire. This travels down the wire which slowly begins to become thinner until it appears to evaporate. Some individuals claim to be able to see wisps of smoke or ethyr as the wire disappears. 

Once the procedure is finished and the pressure within the chamber brought back to normal, the piece can be removed, inspected for any faults, and the process can be repeated with a new wire. It can take hundreds of layers and multiple different metals to complete a piece. 

This method is also being investigated for other applications from gilding to plating other non-armour materials, but the Guilds are reluctant to share their information and as such non-military applications of lamination technology are not yet widespread.

This method is also being investigated for other applications from gilding to plating other non-armour materials, but the Guilds are reluctant to share their information and as such non-military applications of lamination technology are not yet widespread.

    <text bytes="18621" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
This major group of ethyrs all share an origin in that they relate to electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, they tend to be created during endergonic or endothermic reactions. 

Also known as '''luminiferous ethyr''', the subtypes of light-ethyr lie on a spectrum from magnetic to electric. The large overlap between the two is known as chemical ethyr, and this is split into a wide array of subtypes, from specific to broad categories such as the alchemical ethyrs or viridaerious or glaciferous ethyr. The subtypes generally correspond to the source of the ethyr or the main application it has.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of wyrd-ethyr are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd flavour is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul flavour comes from the decomposition of ethyrs, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself. 

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirely. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise ethyr as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

(This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other 3. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat magic as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

Not all electromagnetic interactions perturb the ethyric field, and the ones that do all do so differently. Of these, there exist a few key subdivisions for ease of categorisation for people. 

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

    <text bytes="7136" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field's]] interactions with electromagnetic fields are collectively known as '''light-ethyrs'''. Not all electromagnetic interactions perturb the ethyric field, and the ones that do all do so differently. Of these, there exist a few key subdivisions for ease of categorisation for people. 

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

    <text bytes="9283" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical aegis shield that protects them from incoming damage, the ability to heal wounds sustained, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost as though they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey metal, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour actually heavier than the very plates themselves, at around 2 kg without the straps. This lightweight metal is suspected by experts to be some alloy of [[vitalium]] and [[electricium]].

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are capable of such.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

=== Aegis ===
{{for|Aegis}}
Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the aegis shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This aegis is thinner and can be dismissed around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and is thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The aegis consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the aegis. This causes the remainder of the energy of the shield to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

=== Further Ideas ===
 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means that for most merely the threat of a wager for it tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the myriad of parts involved. Doing it alone can be very slow, though still possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of high-quality plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, or just a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed, such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before the arming doublet is donned or after it is removed.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the ward and therefore its disabling is the highest priority to the opponent. The ward does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more. Furthermore, if the ward can be overwhelmed in any one area it will cause the entire ward to fail and result in making the wearer (relatively) vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour like when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

    <text bytes="6329" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to decay is known as '''wyrd-ethyr'''. Not all interactions due to decay perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Wyrd-Ethyr manifests in the universe through decay. When things succumb to the force of entropy, they leave behind thin wisps of ethyr that readily reacts to further cause ruin. On the other hand, it can be used for less destructive purposes such as crystallisation or even summoning light. The exact thing decaying can cause vastly different flavours of ethyr to be manifested, from the release of soul ethyr as souls or ethyr decay, to the arcane void ethyr released through harvesting vacuum energy.

== Flavours ==
 Theme: decay 

There are four main flavours of wyrd-ethyr, each of which are derived from their according origin. There are often subsets to the main flavours.
=== Wyrd ===
Wyrd flavour wyrd-ethyr is released through radioactive decay. Beta decay converting a proton to a neutron or vice versa causes a release of wyrd energy, which can be used to power wyrd spells. The most common practitioners are usually scholars, applying alchemical knowledge to ethyr. 

In fact, there is a considerable degree of partnership between wyrd and light ethyr scholars. Alchemical studies have usually been the purview of the latter due to chemical flavour light ethyr both finding its source in, and being indispensable for, chemical reactions. 

However, the link between light ethyr and wyrd ethyr is further reinforced by the existence of 'key' spells, which are light ethyr spells that can draw out wyrd to the same degree of efficacy as dedicated wyrd spells. This has caused the alliance between mages of the two separate schools to engage in open discourse and research, expanding the knowledge of these types of ethyr. 

Regardless, wyrd-ethyr from radiation is a dangerous game to play. It has become common to expect wyrd practitioners to suffer from "wizard's death" far more often than other wizards. This term usually refers to the assorted skin damage; bleeding from the eyes, nose, and gums; nausea and vomiting; and weakness and fatigue that wizards experience when exposed to these sources of wyrd. The degree of power it provides, both through the abilities themselves and through the prestige it grants, are however usually considered worth it to the budding mage acolyte who discovers his ability to manipulate wyrd ethyr.

Source – radioactive decay

Uses – 

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?

Source – souls or ethyr decaying 

Uses –

=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.

Source – decay of bond between mind and body (soul disconnection, breaking a bond releases energy!) 

Uses – 

=== Void ===
Decay of the energy of the void.

Source – energy from the void, decaying particles etc

Uses –

== Mechanics ==
=== Source ===
Wyrd - Radioactive decay.

Soul - Soul slowly decaying. 

Death - Decay of the bond between mind and body. Somehow acquire ethyr from death, the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or only the ones with sapience/free will?

Void - Decay of the energy of the void. Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay (quantum vacuum fluctuations)

=== Application ===
Wyrd - Spells themed around radioactivity, perhaps?

Soul - Binding souls. Creating ai, especially binding into artefacts. Manipulating the Domain?

Death - Could it be used to perform murderous atrocities?

Void - Use wyrd to draw out wyrd ethyr from thin air - hack the system for renewable ethyr energy (but vastly dangerous). Also maybe a source of actual energy, too. 


=== Further Ideas ===
 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.


 Wyrd magic is the final subset of decay magic, and is often known as blue magic, or wyrdlore. The act of drawing power from wyrdstones, elemental ores that are prized for their magical energy. As the wizard draws power from the stones, they glow blue and all life nearby withers, corrupts, or mutates. The 'wizard's death' awaits any who practice this magic without protection and in some places permission must be sought before engaging in this field legally. (Uranium radiation magic)

== Welcome to {{SITENAME}}! ==
Welcome to '''{{SITENAME}}''', the wiki about everything in the world of Terracil, created by the OfficialTerracil. Do you want to know more about [[Melinorati]], [[The Halfling]], [[Moonstone]], and everything else Terracil? You've come to the right place!

Discovering this for the first time? All of the stories written by OfficialTerracil are set on a planet named [[Terracil]], sharing the same origin creation story and myths, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the world, check out:

==Ideas==
Ideas go here!
 Create pages for each continent (will go in Ecology alongside the biogeographic realms) and then individual pages for each biome and the organisms (flora and fauna that live there)
 Use this to help figure out which areas will have which goods, resources, foods, or dangers.
 e.g. mediterranean area with modern earth-like conditions could have medit. herbs, olive trees, and animals like goats and sheep. whereas a coastal desert with late cretac ecology might have different herbs, food animals, and flavours which would cause local cuisines to be very different and unique to them.
 
 Would be cool to do stained glass style portraits of Old Ones in the same style as the Valar ones.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== TRC II ====
The first planet from the sun is designated TRC II. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

==== TRC III ====
The second planet from the sun is TRC III. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], Silver, Brass}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== Arraid ====
The first planet from the sun is designated [[Arraid]]. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

Alraid? Arraid? Arra'id? Arra-Id? Arra'Id?

==== Peregrine ====
The second planet from the sun is [[Peregrine]]. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{See|[[Terracil]], [[Celebri]], [[Quelpor]]}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon. 

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== Arraid ====
The first planet from the sun is designated [[Arraid]]. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

Alraid? Arraid? Arra'id? Arra-Id? Arra'Id?

==== Peregrine ====
The second planet from the sun is [[Peregrine]]. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle|[[Terracil]], also see: [[Celebri]], [[Quelpor]]|}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 482 local days (or 635 Earth days.) Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver- and a brass-coloured moon.

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== Arraid ====
The first planet from the sun is designated [[Arraid]]. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

Alraid? Arraid? Arra'id? Arra-Id? Arra'Id?

==== Peregrine ====
The second planet from the sun is [[Peregrine]]. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle|[[Terracil]], also see: [[Celebri]], [[Quelpor]]|}}
Terracil orbits the sun at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 444 local days. Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver-coloured moon named [[Celebri]] and a brass-coloured moon named [[Quelpor]].

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== Arraid ====
The first planet from the sun is designated [[Arraid]]. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

Alraid? Arraid? Arra'id? Arra-Id? Arra'Id?

==== Peregrine ====
The second planet from the sun is [[Peregrine]]. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle|[[Terracil]], also see: [[Celebri]], [[Quelpor]]|}}
Terracil is a rocky planet that orbits fourth from the sun at the edge of the habitable zone at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 444 local days. Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver-coloured moon named [[Celebri]] and a brass-coloured moon named [[Quelpor]].

Terracil has liquid water, an active biosphere, magnetosphere, and plate tectonics, and is further suffused with [[ethyr]] as a result of being exposed to the Sun's luminiferous ethyr and the subsequent reprocessing of it by the local lifeforms and natural processes. The local [[flora and fauna]] have adapted to the presence of the ethyrs by either protecting themselves from the negative effects of its use through blocking access such as the ethyr-suppressor genes, or finding safe pathways with which to exploit it such as the plants that have developed an autosymbiotic relationship with their own viridaerious ethyr released through photosynthesis.

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area.

{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

==== Thena ====
[[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== Meli ====
[[Meli]] is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island
** Desert
** Rainforest
** Monsoon Savannahs
** South Medi coast
** Northern Subtropicals
* Northeast Medi regions
* East Jungle
* West Jungle
* North Savannah
* The Desert Belt
* South Steppes
* Southern Savannahs
* Southern temperate hills
* Mediterranean
* South Island
* South Continental
* East Arid Zone
* Southeast Mountain Tundras

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

 Talk through each continent and the regions it has.

 Divide into Biogeographic Realms: 
 Bird NA Myaner continent (THENA)
 Meli Aus/SA Dino continent (meli)
 Dino Afr Itza continent (itzafrica)
 Paleo-modern Manu Eur continent (paleur)
 Modern Manu/Dro Asi continent (eurasi)
 
==== [[Thena]] ====
Thena is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== [[Meli]] ====
Meli is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island
** Desert
** Rainforest
** Monsoon Savannahs
** South Medi coast
** Northern Subtropicals
* Northeast Medi regions
* East Jungle
* West Jungle
* North Savannah
* The Desert Belt
* South Steppes
* Southern Savannahs
* Southern temperate hills
* Mediterranean
* South Island
* South Continental
* East Arid Zone
* Southeast Mountain Tundras

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

==== Other Continents ====

Itzafrica
Dino Afr Itzatecah divided into the following bioregions:

 Jungles 
 Dominated by Itzatecah
 
 Southern Savannah 
 Itzatecah colonies

 Northern Desert 
 Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons.
 
 Northern Mediterranean 

 Southern Temperate 
 Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 


Eur
Paleo-modern, Manush

Asi
Modern, Manu+Drokha

'''Lovyrn''' is 

Lovyrn is surrounded by several major islands to the north east, the largest of which, a, forms two thin straits with the main body of Lovyrn as it wraps around to the north and south of the island. The next largest is b, which is about halfway between a and the mainland of [[Thena]]. The third largest, c, is just off the coast of Thena, not far from b. The next largest, d, is north of a and lies east of the main headland in the northeast of Lovyrn. 

Smaller islands are also scattered around this region, such as a1 to the northeast of a, b1 to the south of b as well as b2 just to b's southeast, the island f which lies off the western coast, and g which lies south of Lovyrn's southern arid coast. Finally, two major islands are found in Lovyrn's interior sea, e and f. E is located somewhat north of the centre point of the inner sea, and f is nestled in the south portion of the sea, enclosed by plains of south Lovyrn.

'''Lovyrn''' is 

The main regions of Lovyrn are the northern forests and the northern mediterranean (separated by the north arm of the [[Vyrnaeglir range]]); the western mediterranean and the wide western plains (separated by the main body of the Vyrnaeglir range); the south, composed of the arid southwest [[Lithren desert]], a small central southern patch of monsoon/savanna, and the southeast arid [[Palch steppes]]; and finally the eastern mediterranean and the eastmost plains (separated by the [[Rhunorod range]]).

Lovyrn is surrounded by several major islands to the north east, the largest of which, a, forms two thin straits with the main body of Lovyrn as it wraps around to the north and south of the island. The next largest is b, which is about halfway between a and the mainland of [[Thena]]. The third largest, c, is just off the coast of Thena, not far from b. The next largest, d, is north of a and lies east of the main headland in the northeast of Lovyrn. 

Smaller islands are also scattered around this region, such as a1 to the northeast of a, b1 to the south of b as well as b2 just to b's southeast, the island f which lies off the western coast, and g which lies south of Lovyrn's southern arid coast. Finally, two major islands are found in Lovyrn's interior sea, e and f. E is located somewhat north of the centre point of the inner sea, and f is nestled in the south portion of the sea, enclosed by plains of south Lovyrn.

The origins of the earliest constellations go back to well before writing was developed. People used them to relate stories of their beliefs, experiences, creation, or mythology. Different cultures and countries adopted their own constellations, some of which lasted to today. The recognition of constellations has changed significantly over time. Many changed in size or shape. Some became popular, only to drop into obscurity. Some were limited to a single culture or nation. Naming constellations also helped astronomers and navigators identify stars more easily.

A date is the designation of a single and specific day within such a system. A calendar is also a physical record (often paper) of such a system. A calendar can also mean a list of planned events, such as a court calendar or a partly or fully chronological list of documents, such as a calendar of wills. 

Periods in a calendar (such as years and months) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of the sun or the moon. The most common type of calendar was the lunisolar calendar, a lunar calendar that occasionally adds one intercalary month to remain synchronized with the solar year over the long term.

    <text bytes="17726" xml:space="preserve">The '''Itzatecah calendar''' is a system of calendars used primarily by [[Itzatecah]] of the Africa continent (Huantlaxtzin), as well as scholars from [[Myaner|myaner]], [[Manush|manush]], and [[Melinorati|melinorati]] communities. By Itzatecah mythological tradition - as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions - the deity Emmitli is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendrical system to the ancestral Itzatecah, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Itzatecah culture.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The modern Itzatecah calendar is based on several classical period calendrical systems, such as the Cycles or the Calendar Round. These have over time fused into one system for tracking the days of the year, as well as the phases of the moon with as much accuracy as possible.

 consists of several cycles or counts of different lengths. The 260-day count is known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolkʼin. The Tzolkin was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haabʼ to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabʼ, called the Calendar Round. The Calendar Round is widely used by almost all Itzatecah.

A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count Calendar. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point. By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. 

The Itzatecah numeral system is essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20) and each unit of a given position in the Long Count represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception is made for the final place value, which instead represents 11 × 36, or 444 days, more closely approximating the solar year of 444.09 days than 20 × 20 = 400 days would. The cycles of the Long Count thus are ultimately independent of the solar year, as they drift over the millennia, but generally it stays in sync during living memory.

Many Itzatecah Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series such as one which provides information on the lunar phases of both moons.

Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 440-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 19 days associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.

== Tenqakai'chahuotl ==
=== Meaning ===
The name means the recording of time, involving the sun and moons, and is under construction but in use since the founding, which are all elements considered important to the holy activity of time-keeping for the Itzatecah. ''Tenq'' is the word used for recording or writing, and comes first as the [[Itzatecah Language|Itzatecah language]] prioritises the verb. The next most important element goes next, ''kahuan'' or ''kai'', as it means the passage of time and relates to things that are ancient, forgotten or lost, which represents the heritage of the calendar. ''Cha'' and ''hua'' mean the sun and moon respectively, and finally the ''-otl'' suffix denotes both founding and construction, which again ties back to the idea of the calendar having been founded long ago but still being under construction, as time moves inexorably forward. 

=== Breakdown ===
The tenqakai'chahuotl or tenqakaichahuotl calendar combines the months with the days of the week to produce a calendar of 444 days. It is used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events, farming times, and for divination. A year is composed of 20 months, each of which is given the name of an Old One deity associated with it. Then there are 6 names of more important gods which are used for the days of the week. Each month begins with day 1 and counts up to 5, upon which the week ends. The next week counts up from 6 to 10 but is then followed by a day 11 named after the sixth deity. This process is repeated to reach 4 weeks of 22 days total, with alternating 5 or 6 day weeks. The deities chosen to name these weekdays are not standardised, as there are recorded instances of Itzatecah settlements choosing more specific deities to venerate the most that represent their settlement's specific priorities.

This system of twenty months of twenty two days would ordinarily add up to 20 × 22 = 440 days. The 4 additional days are reserved for the equinoxes and solstices, which are unnumbered days set aside from the rest of the week and are either days of celebration or of solemn ceremony. The year begins in the winter solstice with day 0, the New Year's Day. The sixth month then begins with an unnumbered day on the spring equinox, the eleventh month begins with an unnumbered day on the summer solstice, and finally another unnumbered day set on the autumn equinox begins the sixteenth month. 

The leap year occurs every eleven years in this calendar and in order to bring the calendar in line with the seasons, a day is added to the start of the midsummer month Mitli. This means the summer solstice and the leap day are celebrated on the two unnumbered days between the final numbered day of Motli and the first numbered day of Mitli.

This is a typical Itzatecah tzolk'in calendar, illustrating the month names, example day names (shortened) and a 0 in place of the equinoxes, solstices, and the position of the leap day added every 11 years.

== The Long Count Calendar ==
The Long Count calendar follows an entirely different method of keeping track of time that does not align with the solar Tzolk'in calendar. It instead follows a cycle of 37 days; each day is dedicated to a specific deity. Once each deity has 12 days dedicated to them, the cycle of 444 days is complete. This means there are 444 unique named days that comprise a full year. The Long Count adds one day to the count every day, with the exception of a leap day. This means that over millennia the Long Count drifts backwards along the seasons. 

The Long Count date exists in two formats, the Longest Count, and the standard and more widely used Long Count.

=== Longest Count ===
The Longest Count records every single day's passing since the mythical date of the creation of the world. This count is written as such;

3 10 19 19 19 18 12 0 0 0 

or alternatively using the decimal point notation;

3.10.19.19.19.18.12.0.0.0

The time elapsed in this count calculates to approximately 4.54 billion years, and is meant to represent the age of the world since its creation.

=== The Long Count ===
This started off as a variation of the longest count that for convenience dropped the first 4 notations. As a result the present day would be recorded as such, using only 6 notations;

19.18.12.0.0.0

This version for all intents and purposes works identically to the Longest Count, counting every single day that has passed since the mythological day of arrival of the Old Ones. The time elapsed since the beginning of this count at present numbers approximately 160,000 years.

Various methods are used when converting Long Count or Longest Count notation into years. Although the long count is designed to count days, the long-standing nature means it is often used as the way of recording events, and as such if it needs to be converted into years, it is not as simple as it may appear. Though the third from last position is often interpreted erroneously as the number of years elapsed, it instead measures the number of sets of 444 days, and as such drifts considerably over the centuries. 

The most common method is to convert the total elapsed days into years directly by dividing by 444.090909. However, this method is long-winded as it requires adding massive numbers of days, and other methods have been devised over the years.

Known as The Silver Moon, '''Celebri''' is the most common name for the closer of Terracil's two satellites. Its name derives from the Sindar term for silver, and was chosen for the moon's light grey to white colour and brightness in the night sky. Celebri's apparent size is nearly the same as that of the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun almost completely during a total solar eclipse.

Celebri's (as well as its sister moon, Quelpor's) prominence in Terracil's sky and its regular cycle of phases have provided cultural references and influences for sapient societies throughout history. The moons have led the way for countless people by providing light at night, inspiring art and mythology, being the subject of numerous calendar systems, and influencing language.

== Names and Etymology ==
The usual proper name for the moon is Celebri, but in practice it is called the silver moon or even simply the moon often. Other names have been borrowed from different languages, such as Argenti, Goun and Argene.

    <text bytes="18772" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
This major group of ethyrs all share an origin in that they relate to electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, they tend to be created during endergonic or endothermic reactions. 

Also known as '''luminiferous ethyr''', the subtypes of light-ethyr lie on a spectrum from magnetic to electric. The large overlap between the two is known as chemical ethyr, and this is split into a wide array of subtypes, from specific to broad categories such as the alchemical ethyrs or viridaerious or glaciferous ethyr. The subtypes generally correspond to the source of the ethyr or the main application it has.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of '''wyrd-ethyr''' are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd ethyr is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul ethyr is more arcane, as it relates to the ethyr that comes from the decomposition of other ethyrs as well as having links to the soul itself, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood from an already esoteric topic, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirety. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise the ethyric mists as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is often regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat ethyr as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

==Morphology and Syntax==
Kaitzian-Itzatecah and its derivative children languages are agglutinative, polysynthetic languages that make extensive use of compounding, incorporation and derivation. That is, they can add many different prefixes and suffixes to a root until very long words are formed, and a single word can constitute an entire sentence.

==Morphology and Syntax==
Kaitzian-Itzatecah and its derivative children languages are agglutinative, polysynthetic languages that make extensive use of compounding, incorporation and derivation. That is, they can add many different prefixes and suffixes to a root until very long words are formed, and a single word can constitute an entire sentence.

The Kaitzian language usually puts the noun first and is normally a head-initial language, though some of its descendent dialects have swapped to being head-final. As this language uses noun-like adjectives, and almost any noun can be an adjective, adjectives can be formed by changing the final -a in a noun into an -i. Nouns ending in other vowel sounds instead have a -q appended, and if they end in a consonant -oq is appended. 

 Examples: cha means ghost or jaguar. chi means ghost-like. 

By adding the appropriate plural construction to an adjective like Kai or Loq, one can create plural nouns like loqli, or "Fierce Ones" and kaitl, or "Forgotten Ones."

Two vowels meeting each other can either be diphthonged if they are different vowels, but if they are the same vowel they are not elongated but will have a glottal stop inserted in between them. 

 Examples: Olo (fire) + oatl (origin-foundation-stornghold) together makes Olo'oatl meaning fire-origin, or volcano. Whereas Olo + an (place) makes for Oloan meaning fireplace. However, some modern dialects if Itzatecah do modify this into olo'an or even olhuan. 

There are no genders in Kaitzian as the Itzatecah have no genders themselves and as such the entire concept of gender-based words is an oddity to them. 

Adverb-Adjective Endings: It is entirely possible for a word to end in -oqoq. In these cases, the word is assumed to be both adverb and adjective.

Adverb-Adjective Endings: It is entirely possible for a word to end in -oqoq. In these cases, the word is assumed to be both adverb and adjective.

Phonotactics: the language allows for maximum one initial and one final consonent. There are some exceptions, however, such as the tz and l in 'tzlan'. Consonent clusters thus exist in the middle of words or across syllables. Stress is usually on the penultimate syllable.

==Morphology and Syntax==
Kaitzian-Itzatecah and its derivative children languages are agglutinative, polysynthetic languages that make extensive use of compounding, incorporation and derivation. That is, they can add many different prefixes and suffixes to a root until very long words are formed, and a single word can constitute an entire sentence.

The Kaitzian language usually puts the noun first and is normally a head-initial language, though some of its descendent dialects have swapped to being head-final. As this language uses noun-like adjectives, and almost any noun can be an adjective, adjectives can be formed by changing the final -a in a noun into an -i. Nouns ending in other vowel sounds instead have a -q appended, and if they end in a consonant -oq is appended. 

 Examples: cha means ghost or jaguar. chi means ghost-like. 

By adding the appropriate plural construction to an adjective like Kai or Loq, one can create plural nouns like loqli, or "Fierce Ones" and kaitl, or "Forgotten Ones."

Two vowels meeting each other can either be diphthonged if they are different vowels, but if they are the same vowel they are not elongated but will have a glottal stop inserted in between them. 

 Examples: Olo (fire) + oatl (origin-foundation-stornghold) together makes Olo'oatl meaning fire-origin, or volcano. Whereas Olo + an (place) makes for Oloan meaning fireplace. However, some modern dialects if Itzatecah do modify this into olo'an or even olhuan. 

There are no genders in Kaitzian as the Itzatecah have no genders themselves and as such the entire concept of gender-based words is an oddity to them. 

Adverb-Adjective Endings: It is entirely possible for a word to end in -oqoq. In these cases, the word is assumed to be both adverb and adjective.

Phonotactics: the language allows for maximum one initial and one final consonent. There are some exceptions, however, such as the tz and l in 'tzlan'. Consonent clusters thus exist in the middle of words or across syllables. Stress is usually on the penultimate syllable.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Itzatecah, also known as lizardmen, lizard people, or lizardfolk, are not one species but a collective of different species from varying levels of related families that have gained sapience. These species range from the highly ethyrically capable tzlan, the tall and hardy tzauaruz, the slight and agile tzikink, and the immense kroqtzigor. They are all highly distinct from one another, and surprisngly the smallest and the largest of the four, the tzikink and kroqtzigor, are in fact the most closely related. The tzlan are the most distantly related to the other three, as they in fact belong to a group of amphibians distantly related to frogs and chevron-heads. 

All the species of Itzatecah were formed, not evolved, by the Old Ones approximately 177,000 years before the present day. This process caused them to be hugely modified from their relative species, as they were moulded by blood magic to change their physiology to better suit the lifestyle of sapient species and to grant extra abilities. 

[[Tzlan]] are squat and fat, and are highly intelligent. One of the major modifications they received was a vastly improved efficiency for using ethyr while minimising the risks of [[Burning_Frog_Phenomenon|burnout]]. 

[[Tzauaruz]] are tall and broad, averaging 8 feet tall and with

 Have advanced ability to alter time perception. In combat they can slow down time at the expense of needing extra rations later, or they can slow down their perception (thus speeding up time) to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times. Perhaps also useful for seeing the big picture as things unfold. Going into torpor to pass the time when on guard duty for days on end, motionless. Maybe even months.

 Itzatecah do not breed sexually and as such do not have any differentiating between sexes, as they do not have sexes.

 Calendar consists of 20 months of 22 days each, split into 4 weeks of alternating 5 or 6 days. Each season begins with a day that is not numbered, either the solstice or the equinox. Every 4 years there is an extra day added to the calendar at the summer solstice, making it a 2 day event.

Itzatecah can all access the information within and some, though not all, are able to place their own gathered information, thoughts, or memories within it.
 Soul ethyr allows for memories to be imprinted within it, and as such can be semi-sentient. Ghosts can exist this way. Unlike a soul or ghost, this is not a small, moving blob of ethyr, but an area that is created which grants access to a central hub of information encoded in soul-ethyr from within it.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Itzatecah, also known as lizardmen, lizard people, or lizardfolk, are not one species but a collective of different species from varying levels of related families that have gained sapience. These species range from the highly [[Ethyr|ethyrically]] [[Ethyric Arts|capable]] [[tzlan]], the tall and hardy [[tzauaruz]], the slight and agile [[tzikink]], and the immense [[kroqtzigor]]. They are all highly distinct from one another, and surprisngly the smallest and the largest of the four, the tzikink and kroqtzigor, are in fact the most closely related. The tzlan are the most distantly related to the other three, as they in fact belong to a group of amphibians distantly related to frogs and chevron-heads. 

All the species of Itzatecah were formed, not evolved, by [[The Old Ones|the Old Ones]] approximately 177,000 years before the present day. This process caused them to be hugely modified from their relative species, as they were moulded by [[Light-Ethyr#Blood|blood magic]] to change their physiology to better suit the lifestyle of [[Sapient_Peoples|sapient species]] and to grant extra abilities. 

Tzlan are squat and fat, and are highly intelligent. One of the major modifications they received was a vastly improved efficiency for using ethyr while minimising the risks of [[Burning_Frog_Phenomenon|burnout]]. 

Tzauaruz are tall and broad, averaging 8 feet tall and with

In combat they can slow down time at the expense of needing extra rations later, or they can slow down their perception (thus speeding up time) to save on resources, for long term activities that require less brainpower and reaction times.

 Calendar consists of 20 months of 22 days each, split into 4 weeks of alternating 5 or 6 days. Each season begins with a day that is not numbered, either the solstice or the equinox. Every 4 years there is an extra day added to the calendar at the summer solstice, making it a 2 day event.

** This will be a repository of information stored within soul-ethyr. This normally resides within huge pylons that extend the radius in which the information can be accessed. Itzatecah can all access the information within and some, though not all, are able to place their own gathered information, thoughts, or memories within it.
 Soul ethyr allows for memories to be imprinted within it, and as such can be semi-sentient. Ghosts can exist this way. Unlike a soul or ghost, this is not a small, moving blob of ethyr, but an area that is created which grants access to a central hub of information encoded in soul-ethyr from within it.

    <text bytes="8689" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field's]] interactions with electromagnetic fields are collectively known as '''light-ethyrs'''. Not all electromagnetic interactions perturb the ethyric field, and the ones that do all do so differently. Of these, there exist a few key subdivisions for ease of categorisation for people. 

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Chemical 
 Used for and derived from chemical reactions. useful in many fields such as metallurgy.

Fire

Growth 
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

Water 
 Phase changes

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

== Mechanics ==
 flavours are arranged according to the old [[colour theory]], not by the source of the flavour as dictated by current understanding of [[ethyric theory]].

==== Chemical ====
 Cold pack ethyr batteries?
 chemistry spells and uses
 Need to think about. Perhaps manipulate bonds and use to create substances? Soulcasting??? Use to purify substances? Allow easier access to things like magnesia, or pure metals, or even to manipulate structures for transparent metal etc.
 

==== Blood ====
Blood magic is the common name given to the art of changing the body of a target. Blood magic cannot be done through quick spells but rather must be enacted through slow rituals much like physical therapy that mould the body to the deisred outcome over time. As the cost of blood magic is so high, it has not been explored much by ethical experimentors, and the majority of known knowledge about this branch of magic comes from the recovered diaries of individuals who have dabbled in the darker side of the ethyric arts such as [[Char]]. 

The first instance of blood magic being discovered would likely have been from someone noticing that when a person died in a cave with a fire (through CO poisoning), their blood glowed faintly with red ethyr. An alternative is that perhaps a bowl of blood from a sacrifice was left next to a fire and it started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it.

Blood ethyr can be used for manipulating genes. The degree to which it can be applied and used depends on the practitioner's understanding of genetics and biology. In the ancient era, it was used in rare cases to attempt to heal certain genetic conditions. These early experimentations led to the arising of myths of vampires who must feed on blood in order to achieve immortal life. In the middle ages, warlords like Char began to use accumulated [[myaner]] knowledge of blood ethyr and began to innovate upon it further. This led to the Blood-Cursed Dynasty civil war approximately 350 years before the present. 

Scholars theorise that based on how the Old Ones used blood magic to form races like the Shamlek and Itzatecah from base creatures, it would be possible to do far more with this type of ethyr, and are searching for better ways to perform more research into it that does not call for the wholesale slaughter of thousands, as was done in the past. Such theories range from the ability to grant an individual access to specific ethyrs they could not before, increasing one's strength, augmenting a soldier to be the ultimate weapon, or even to create new living beings. Such lofty goals are nevertheless, very far away as the nature behind the ethyr is not even close to being fully understood.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

Thena is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== [[Meli]] ====
Meli is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island
** Desert
** Rainforest
** Monsoon Savannahs
** South Medi coast
** Northern Subtropicals
* Northeast Medi regions
* East Jungle
* West Jungle
* North Savannah
* The Desert Belt
* South Steppes
* Southern Savannahs
* Southern temperate hills
* Mediterranean
* South Island
* South Continental
* East Arid Zone
* Southeast Mountain Tundras

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

The main regions of Lovyrn are the northern forests and the northern mediterranean (separated by the north arm of the [[Vyrnaeglir range]]); the western mediterranean and the wide western plains (separated by the main body of the Vyrnaeglir range); the south, composed of the arid southwest [[Lithren desert]], a small central southern patch of monsoon/savanna, and the southeast arid [[Palch steppes]]; and finally the eastern mediterranean and the eastmost plains (separated by the [[Rhunorod range]]).

Lovyrn is surrounded by several major islands to the north east, the largest of which, a, forms two thin straits with the main body of Lovyrn as it wraps around to the north and south of the island. The next largest is b, which is about halfway between a and the mainland of [[Thena]]. The third largest, c, is just off the coast of Thena, not far from b. The next largest, d, is north of a and lies east of the main headland in the northeast of Lovyrn. 

Smaller islands are also scattered around this region, such as a1 to the northeast of a, b1 to the south of b as well as b2 just to b's southeast, the island f which lies off the western coast, and g which lies south of Lovyrn's southern arid coast. Finally, two major islands are found in Lovyrn's interior sea, e and f. E is located somewhat north of the centre point of the inner sea, and f is nestled in the south portion of the sea, enclosed by plains of south Lovyrn.

[[Soulsteel]] is a generic term for any metal that has been infused with an intelligence as a result of a soul being added into it through wyrd ethyric soulmagic. 

__TOC__

==Description==
 souls can be placed into metal through a little known and arcane process of binding the soul into the metal. While this can be done with any metal, the resultant metal is usually referred to as soulsteel regardless.

A soulghost exists within the metal in a manner similar to how a soul exists within a physical body. However, the major difference is the architecture of the physical brain being missing and as a result, the mind cannot grow and learn, and will instead merely exist as it did at the time of its harvesting from the brain. The soulghost will degrade over time, but the length of time it takes for it to degrade to a noticeable degree or to a non-functional degree varies greatly depending on a variety of factors and is still poorly understood.

The soul within the material can on occasion manifest itself as a small transparent ghost. The ghost must touch the material, and such a display uses light-ethyr which must be supplied.

    <text bytes="6435" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] due to decay is known as '''wyrd-ethyr'''. Not all interactions due to decay perturb the ethyric field, but of the ones that do, there exist a few key subdivisions.

__TOC__

== Ethyric theory ==
Wyrd-Ethyr manifests in the universe through decay. When things succumb to the force of entropy, they leave behind thin wisps of ethyr that readily reacts to further cause ruin. On the other hand, it can be used for less destructive purposes such as crystallisation or even summoning light. The exact thing decaying can cause vastly different flavours of ethyr to be manifested, from the release of soul ethyr as souls or ethyr decay, to the arcane void ethyr released through harvesting vacuum energy.

== Flavours ==
 Theme: decay 

There are four main flavours of wyrd-ethyr, each of which are derived from their according origin. There are often subsets to the main flavours.
=== Wyrd ===
Wyrd flavour wyrd-ethyr is released through radioactive decay. Beta decay converting a proton to a neutron or vice versa causes a release of wyrd energy, which can be used to power wyrd spells. The most common practitioners are usually scholars, applying alchemical knowledge to ethyr. 

In fact, there is a considerable degree of partnership between wyrd and light ethyr scholars. Alchemical studies have usually been the purview of the latter due to chemical flavour light ethyr both finding its source in, and being indispensable for, chemical reactions. 

However, the link between light ethyr and wyrd ethyr is further reinforced by the existence of 'key' spells, which are light ethyr spells that can draw out wyrd to the same degree of efficacy as dedicated wyrd spells. This has caused the alliance between mages of the two separate schools to engage in open discourse and research, expanding the knowledge of these types of ethyr. 

Regardless, wyrd-ethyr from radiation is a dangerous game to play. It has become common to expect wyrd practitioners to suffer from "wizard's death" far more often than other wizards. This term usually refers to the assorted skin damage; bleeding from the eyes, nose, and gums; nausea and vomiting; and weakness and fatigue that wizards experience when exposed to these sources of wyrd. The degree of power it provides, both through the abilities themselves and through the prestige it grants, are however usually considered worth it to the budding mage acolyte who discovers his ability to manipulate wyrd ethyr.

Source – radioactive decay

Uses – 

=== Soul ===
Soul slowly decaying. Also ethyric decay, as other sources of ethyr will slowly convert to soul/wyrd ethyr over time if unused. Unused wyrd ethyr will not decay? Or will fuel other things into decaying?

Source – souls or ethyr decaying 

Uses – putting souls into constructs, either to harvest for energy or to preserve the intelligence of a soul and

=== Death ===
Decay of bond between mind and body. This is the same as the bond between soul and body, or ethyr and matter. Breaking these bonds will result in death flavour ethyr.

Source – decay of bond between mind and body (soul disconnection, breaking a bond releases energy!) 

Uses – 

=== Void ===
Decay of the energy of the void.

Source – energy from the void, decaying particles etc

Uses –

== Mechanics ==
=== Source ===
Wyrd - Radioactive decay.

Soul - Soul slowly decaying. 

Death - Decay of the bond between mind and body. Somehow acquire ethyr from death, the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or only the ones with sapience/free will?

Void - Decay of the energy of the void. Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay (quantum vacuum fluctuations)

=== Application ===
Wyrd - Spells themed around radioactivity, perhaps?

Soul - Binding souls. Creating ai, especially binding into artefacts. Manipulating the Domain?

Death - Could it be used to perform murderous atrocities?

Void - Use wyrd to draw out wyrd ethyr from thin air - hack the system for renewable ethyr energy (but vastly dangerous). Also maybe a source of actual energy, too. 


=== Further Ideas ===
 Light-ethyr key spell is needed to be able to extract extra wyrd ethyr from radioactive materials

 Radioactive materials - use key spell to siphon off ethyr by inducing further beta decay. Can use wyrd flavour ethyr on casting wyrd spells. What would these spells do??

 Soul - The decay of things such as souls can also release wyrd ethyr slowly. Souls are potentially just ethyr, so if this is canonised it means other ethyr types can decay into wyrd ethyr. What ethyr type is a soul??? 
 Used to power pyramid beacons. Not sure what needs to be done to make this fit nicely.

 Death - Somehow can acquire ethyr from death, either the act of severing the soul from the body perhaps? Do all living things have souls or just ones with sapience/free will??

 Void - Antiparticle annihilations are technically decay, so quantum vacuum fluctuations can be exploited using wyrd to draw out further wyrd from thin air. Most powerful and feared wizards as they have infinite power reserves technically. Super powerful evil wizard character who is feared by all. Secretly he is almost killing himself due to pulling ethyr from the void. 1) use wyrd ethyr to create some sort of quantum decay engine (look into forerunners vacuum decay energy things) 2) use this to draw further power and use excess quantities of ethyr for nefarious reasons. Body's ATP becomes the main limiting factor here, then.


 Wyrd magic is the final subset of decay magic, and is often known as blue magic, or wyrdlore. The act of drawing power from wyrdstones, elemental ores that are prized for their magical energy. As the wizard draws power from the stones, they glow blue and all life nearby withers, corrupts, or mutates. The 'wizard's death' awaits any who practice this magic without protection and in some places permission must be sought before engaging in this field legally. (Uranium radiation magic)

[[Potash]] is a powdery substance that can either be mined as a type of salt or created. The name derives from pot ash, plant ashes or wood ash soaked in water in a pot, the primary means of manufacturing potash. 

The substance was principally obtained by leaching the ashes of land and sea plants, and primarily relied on broadleafed trees, so artificial potash production was most common in temperate heavily wooded areas. In contrast, the more arid tropics were a more reliable source of naturally occurring potash deposits in pink lakes or salt mines.

__TOC__

==Uses==
Potash can be used in a wide variety of contexts as it can allow for bleaching of textiles, makes the creation of glass and ceramics easier, and is an important ingredient in making soap.

==History==
Potash has been used since the Bronze Age.

From about 200 years BP, potash has been mined in several locations, including in the Eastern Rift Valley. It quickly became an important international trade commodity. It is estimated that Petannia has imported almost 2 million sacks of potash per year in recent decades.

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to sustain growth despite the inefficiency. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis.

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output at the cost of the danger of sunburns. This has resulted in plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to be on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals, usually &lt;decide between monotreme, marsupial, or placental varieties&gt;.

Some examples include:
* Wyverns

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
By far the largest continent, Eur stretches from the W'ha island in the west to the eastmost point of Shimei, and stretching from the icy tundras near the north pole through to the mediterranean of the southern hemisphere at its southmost tip. 

Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to promote growth despite the usual drawbacks animals experience. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage. Though this comes at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, the sheer abundance of luminiferous and viridaerious ethyr more than compensates and makes these tropical regions particularly lush. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output. Though this comes at the cost of higher likelihood of sunburns in areas with more direct sustained sunlight, this has resulted in the yellow-orange plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to thrive on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals, usually &lt;decide between monotreme, marsupial, or placental varieties&gt;.

Some examples include:
* Wyverns

=== Meli ===
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
By far the largest continent, Eur stretches from the W'ha island in the west to the eastmost point of Shimei, and stretching from the icy tundras near the north pole through to the mediterranean of the southern hemisphere at its southmost tip.

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="14329" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to promote growth despite the usual drawbacks animals experience. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage. Though this comes at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, the sheer abundance of luminiferous and viridaerious ethyr more than compensates and makes these tropical regions particularly lush. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output. Though this comes at the cost of higher likelihood of sunburns in areas with more direct sustained sunlight, this has resulted in the yellow-orange plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to thrive on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals, usually &lt;decide between monotreme, marsupial, or placental varieties&gt;.

Some examples include:
* Wyverns

=== Meli ===
[[File:Globe cropped Meli.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the central lake-oases in meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

__TOC__

==History==
===Establishment &amp; Early Years===
The Knights of Tincture were first established by [[King Lecad I]] in [[1103 AD]] and were just three individuals, [[Lord Jaime]] [[Hardshawe]] as [[the Knight of Gules]], [[Sir Henry Bollingbroke]] as [[the Knight of Azure]], and [[Sir William of Grove]] as [[the Knight of Vert]]. These men were selected for their personal loyalty to their king, and they already had an association with their tincture before they were given this position. The arms of [[House Bollingbroke]] are a [[dragon]] argent on an azure field, and azure is their primary house colour. [[House Hardshawe]] have always worn red, hence Lord Jaime's position as the Knight of Gules, and finally [[The Grove]] has historically been associated with green, with vert featuring on every noble and landed house that hails from that region with the notable exception of [[House Targaryen]].

The position of the Knight of Sable was not established until later when Lecad's wife, Lady Arrad of Lissalia, demanded her own bodyguard to protect her, in 1105 AD. For this position, Sir Harwood Ravenhold was chosen, and rumours abound that the man was chosen because he had lost his genitals in a jousing accident 12 years prior. It was not until pressure from the clergy and the judicial arm of government successfully reached the tipping point in 1111 AD did the positions of the Knights of Or and Argent become established, with Lord Hysh An-Nur being knighted as the Knight of Argent and assigned the position of defending the house of Parliament, and Sir Lim Sunset being made the Knight of Or and charged with protecting the head of the Church of Shaan. 

This arrangement did not persist until the end of Lecad's reign, though, as he remodelled the system in the years prior to his death by assigning each Knight of Tincture with a particular role. Gules, Vert, and Azure remained as the King's Personal Guard at all times. Or became the Queen's Guard following Sir Harwood's death. Sable was assigned to be the Shadow of the Law, and personally served as the only man allowed arms within the House of Parliament. Finally, Argent was made the Defender of the Faith, with this Knight being assigned to defend the current High Priest of Shaan. 

== Middle Period ==
The next 150 years following Lecad's death saw little change to his establishment and the positions became somewhat of a tradition and symbol of legitimacy. The Knights would forsake their own house emblems and instead dress entirely in the colour of their position. Though the dynasty might change, the positions held by the Knights of Tincture had come to be expected by the people and as such even the estabishment of the new ruling house, the House of Vallois, did not change this tradition but instead gladly played by it to ensure their own legitimacy in the eyes of both the people and the judicial and religous arms. Knights were replaced as they grew old or died, and during the reign of Nerathic two knights were assigned to each position, but following his death this was reversed to a single knight serving.

== Modern Times ==
The precendent set by Nerathic I was brought back to the fore when the positions of the Knights of Tincture were expanded. Now, there would be a knight who served as the primary in that position, but he was allowed to have his own squires and junior knights who served under him, and all relinquished their house emblems. However, all would replace their emblems with that of the king to show where their foremost loyalty laid. 

The current holders of the Knights of Tincture are as follows:

* Knight of Azure - Sir
* Knight of Gules - Sir
* Knight of Vert - Lord
* Knight of Sable - Sir
* Knight of Or - Lord
* Knight of Argent - Sir

==History==
===Establishment &amp; Early Years===
The Knights of Tincture were first established by [[King Lecad I]] in [[1103 AD]] and were just three individuals, [[Lord Jaime]] [[Hardshawe]] as [[the Knight of Gules]], [[Sir Henry Bollingbroke]] as [[the Knight of Azure]], and [[Sir William of Grove]] as [[the Knight of Vert]]. These men were selected for their personal loyalty to their king, and they already had an association with their tincture before they were given this position. The arms of [[House Bollingbroke]] are a [[dragon]] argent on an azure field, and azure is their primary house colour. [[House Hardshawe]] have always worn red, hence Lord Jaime's position as the Knight of Gules, and finally [[The Grove]] has historically been associated with green, with vert featuring on every noble and landed house that hails from that region with the notable exception of [[House Targaryen]].

The position of the Knight of Sable was not established until later when Lecad's wife, Lady Arrad of Lissalia, demanded her own bodyguard to protect her, in 1105 AD. For this position, Sir Harwood Ravenhold was chosen, and rumours abound that the man was chosen because he had lost his genitals in a jousing accident 12 years prior. It was not until pressure from the clergy and the judicial arm of government successfully reached the tipping point in 1111 AD did the positions of the Knights of Or and Argent become established, with Lord Hysh An-Nur being knighted as the Knight of Argent and assigned the position of defending the house of Parliament, and Sir Lim Sunset being made the Knight of Or and charged with protecting the head of the Church of Shaan. 

This arrangement did not persist until the end of Lecad's reign, though, as he remodelled the system in the years prior to his death by assigning each Knight of Tincture with a particular role. Gules, Vert, and Azure remained as the King's Personal Guard at all times. Or became the Queen's Guard following Sir Harwood's death. Sable was assigned to be the Shadow of the Law, and personally served as the only man allowed arms within the House of Parliament. Finally, Argent was made the Defender of the Faith, with this Knight being assigned to defend the current High Priest of Shaan.

 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Growth

Water

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

An alternative is that perhaps a bowl of blood from a sacrifice was left next to a fire and it started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it.

Blood ethyr can be used for manipulating genes. The degree to which it can be applied and used depends on the practitioner's understanding of genetics and biology. In the ancient era, it was used in rare cases to attempt to heal certain genetic conditions.

Such theories range from the ability to grant an individual access to specific ethyrs they could not before, increasing one's strength, augmenting a soldier to be the ultimate weapon, or even to create new living beings. Such lofty goals are nevertheless, very far away as the nature behind the ethyr is not even close to being fully understood.

 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr's origins in electromagnetism means its flavours can be grouped into an electric flavour, a magnetic flavour, or a mixture of the two, known as chemical flavours. 

Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism

Chemical flavour ethyr is by far the most diverse, as electromagnetic interactions are the basis of so much of the world around us. From chemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes ethyr that normally is divided into its own flavours. The most prevalent source of ethyr is solar light ethyr, often confusingly simply called light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of downward flowing luminiferous ethyr during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it is theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that light-ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight.

Another source of chemical flavour ethyr is from certain exergonic or endothermic reactions. These reactions include specific interactions like phase changes (water freezing or condensing), aspects of photosynthesis, or even ATP breaking down into ADP. Regardless of source, the ethyr that results is often linked to the 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Growth 
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

Water

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

Blood ethyr can be used for manipulating genes. The degree to which it can be applied and used depends on the practitioner's understanding of genetics and biology. In the ancient era, it was used in rare cases to attempt to heal certain genetic conditions.

In the middle ages, warlords like Char began to use accumulated [[myaner]] knowledge of blood ethyr and began to innovate upon it further. This led to the Blood-Cursed Dynasty civil war approximately 350 years before the present. 

Scholars theorise that based on how the Old Ones used blood magic to form races like the Shamlek and Itzatecah from base creatures, it would be possible to do far more with this type of ethyr, and are searching for better ways to perform more research into it that does not call for the wholesale slaughter of thousands, as was done in the past. Such theories range from the ability to grant an individual access to specific ethyrs they could not before, increasing one's strength, augmenting a soldier to be the ultimate weapon, or even to create new living beings. Such lofty goals are nevertheless, very far away as the nature behind the ethyr is not even close to being fully understood.

 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr as a category of ethyrs ultimately comes from the mixture of the little understood primal forces of elektricity and magnetism. The prevalent current theory is that these two forces are but two sides of the same coin, and are in fact a spectrum. As such, the various flavours of ethyrs within the wider category of light-ethyr can be split into the extremes of the spectrum, and then the ones that fall somewhere along the middle, mixing the two together. 

One side of the spectrum is called poliferous ethyr, also known as the magnetic flavour. Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. However, the distribution of where it flows the strongest are the opposite - where solar (or light) ethyr is steadiest at the equator and very weak at the poles, magnetic ethyr is almost non-existant at the equator but increases dramatically in strength as one approaches the poles. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

The chemical category of ethyr flavours are by far the most diverse, as they play a part in so much of the world around us.

The result of this is that luminiferous ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight. 

Alchemical flavour ethyr can be sourced from particular alchemical reactions that tend to either absorb heat or energy. These reactions include heating substances until they change states such as ice melting or water evaporating, as well as reactions like plants photosynthesising or animal's bodies storing energy from their food. The ethyr that is released from these alchemical reactions usually has far fewer applications as it can only be used for purposes closely linked to the method that created it. 

ATP synthesis is endothermic and ATP hydrolysis into ADP + P is exergonic, releasing energy. When casting spells, the body will consume stores of ATP, breaking it down in order to gain energy.

Perhaps this is a byproduct of ethyr being present and catalysing the conversion of ATP to ADP? This is the real reason why ethyr is so dangerous as its presence tends to strip you of your ATP stores, and it takes skill and practice to be able to direct ethyr more quickly/efficiently in order to avoid it suffusing the entire body and thus limiting the amount of ATP it burns away. 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 
 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism
 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Growth

Water

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

==== Blood ====
Blood magic is the common name given to the art of changing the body of a target. Blood magic cannot be done through quick spells but rather must be enacted through slow rituals much like physical therapy that mould the body to the deisred outcome over time. As the cost of blood magic is so high, it has not been explored much by ethical experimentors, and the majority of known knowledge about this branch of magic comes from the recovered diaries of individuals who have dabbled in the darker side of the ethyric arts such as [[Char]]. 

The first instance of blood magic being discovered would likely have been from someone noticing that when a person died in a cave with a fire (through CO poisoning), their blood glowed faintly with red ethyr. An alternative is that perhaps a bowl of blood from a sacrifice was left next to a fire and it started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it.

Blood ethyr can be used for manipulating genes. The degree to which it can be applied and used depends on the practitioner's understanding of genetics and biology. In the ancient era, it was used in rare cases to attempt to heal certain genetic conditions. These early experimentations led to the arising of myths of vampires who must feed on blood in order to achieve immortal life. In the middle ages, warlords like Char began to use accumulated [[myaner]] knowledge of blood ethyr and began to innovate upon it further. This led to the Blood-Cursed Dynasty civil war approximately 350 years before the present. 

Scholars theorise that based on how the Old Ones used blood magic to form races like the Shamlek and Itzatecah from base creatures, it would be possible to do far more with this type of ethyr, and are searching for better ways to perform more research into it that does not call for the wholesale slaughter of thousands, as was done in the past. Such theories range from the ability to grant an individual access to specific ethyrs they could not before, increasing one's strength, augmenting a soldier to be the ultimate weapon, or even to create new living beings. Such lofty goals are nevertheless, very far away as the nature behind the ethyr is not even close to being fully understood.

    <text bytes="18777" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', Aether, Magic, or a myriad other terms, are names that describe a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{for|Light-Ethyr}}
This major group of ethyrs all share an origin in that they relate to electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, they tend to be created during endergonic or endothermic reactions. 

Also known as '''luminiferous ethyr''', the subtypes of light-ethyr lie on a spectrum from magnetic to electric. The large overlap between the two is known as chemical ethyr, and this is split into a wide array of subtypes, from specific to broad categories such as the alchemical ethyrs or viridaerious or glaciferous ethyr. The subtypes generally correspond to the source of the ethyr or the main application it has.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{for|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of '''wyrd-ethyr''' are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd ethyr is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul ethyr is more arcane, as it relates to the ethyr that comes from the decomposition of other ethyrs as well as having links to the soul itself, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood aspect of an already esoteric topic, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirety. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise the ethyric mists as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is often regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat ethyr as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of '''wyrd-ethyr''' are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd ethyr is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul ethyr is more arcane, as it relates to the ethyr that comes from the decomposition of other ethyrs as well as having links to the soul itself, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood aspect of an already esoteric topic, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{for|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{for|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirety. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise the ethyric mists as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is often regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat ethyr as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

{{quote|sentence|whom}}
[[Electricium]] is a shiny silvery-white metal and is second lightest metal known, only beaten out by [[vitalium]] and is around a third of the density of iron. This metal extremely difficult to produce as it requires a hugely expensive process of [[ethyr]] and captured lightning that is very poorly understood. It is theorised that the ancient myaner empire before their fall perfected the technique and made great use of this metal and its alloys. 

Electricium has been recently mixed with [[vitalium]] to create an alloy that is highly valued, having a strength comparable to steel but much lighter. For this reason, it is suspected to be the main metal in the mysterious metallic alloy that was used to create [[ethyrmaille]] by the ancient myaner.

__TOC__

==Uses==
A salt of electricium, known as alum, is used widely to set dyes into cloth. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

 Despite its high rarity, it has not been adopted as coinage anywhere due to both its irregular supply as well as its properties that make it less long-lasting than the usual coinage metals like [[gold]], [[silver]], or [[orichalcum]]. Although it is perfectly durable when alloyed with metals such as electricium, it is hard to work with which means it is usually left to the alchemist-forgers who have special techniques for working it into usable shapes and not minted into coins. However it is sometimes formed into uniform ingots for transport or traded with these ingots becoming somewhat of their own rare currency.


==Production==

==History==
{{quote|xxxx|someone}}
 A myaner cattle farmer living in the region of Meandres once attempted to give his cows water from a well there. The cows refused to drink because of the water's bitter taste, but the farmer noticed that the water seemed to heal scratches and rashes. The substance became known as vitalium salts and its fame spread. 

 When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers. The metal does not heal but it has been claimed that the salts soothe and hasten recovery from muscle pain, soreness, or injury, and as such are valued.

A salt of electricium, known as schistum or alum, is used widely to set dyes into cloth, and has been used as such since at least 1600 BP. 

It is also suspected to be the metal used by ancient [[myaner]] in the unidentified alloy that comprises [[ethyrmaille]] plates, as it is light and strong.

==History==
{{quote|xxxx|someone}}
Schistum, a salt of electricium, was harvested from water evaporated from the river XXX and was a valued commodity across the region around 3250 BP. It was traded widely due to its efficacy as a mordant in setting dyes into cloth. If pure, it would allow the brightest colours to set, but contamination would cause colours to darken or dull. 


 When the metal was eventually extracted from the salts by myaner alchemists, they named the metal "vitalium" to honour the supposed healing powers.

[[Potash]] is a powdery substance that can either be mined as a type of salt or created. The name derives from pot ash, plant ashes or wood ash soaked in water in a pot, the primary means of manufacturing potash. 

The substance was principally obtained by leaching the ashes of land and sea plants, and primarily relied on broadleafed trees, so artificial potash production was most common in temperate heavily wooded areas. In contrast, the more arid tropics were a more reliable source of naturally occurring potash deposits in pink lakes or salt mines.

Some types of potash are caustic, and can be used as [[lye]].

__TOC__

==Uses==
Potash can be used in a wide variety of contexts as it can allow for bleaching of textiles, makes the creation of glass and ceramics easier, and is an important ingredient in making soap.

In more recent times it has started seeing heavy use for farming as it serves as a potent fertiliser. 

==History==
Potash has been used since the Bronze Age.

From about 200 years BP, potash has been mined in several locations, including in the Eastern Rift Valley. It quickly became an important international trade commodity. It is estimated that Petannia has imported almost 2 million sacks of potash per year in recent decades.

{{quote|Watch you don't get that on your hands, lad!|Goodman Tommasz}}

[[Lye]] is a category of powdery substances that along with [[lime]] are classed as caustic salts. There are several types, from the common lye (known as soda lye, or caustic soda) to [[potash]] lye, or caustic potash.

Lye is made by passing repeatedly water through a mixture of special ash and quicklime, and the water slowly turns in to a solution of soda lye. The ash must be made from plants rich in al-qily, such as soapworts. 

Potash lye, or caustic potash, is similar to forming normal potash, except the normal method for making lye is followed with the types of wood that form potash instead of plants like soapwort. 

__TOC__

==Obtaining==
A recipe written around 300 BP called for passing water repeatedly through a mixture of al-qily (ash from plants such as saltwort) and quicklime, whereby a solution of soda lye was obtained. Soap makers also followed this recipe. Natural soda ash was obtained from the ashes of specific plants rich in al-qily. 

==Uses==
Lyes are used across the world in making soap and in several more polar cultures in food preservation such as fruits, vegetables, and breads, or used as an ingredient for pickling. 

If caustic soda is concentrated, it can cause chemical burns to skin that it touches and as such care is advised when handling it.

[[Lime]] is a collection of materials formed from [[Stone#Limestone|limestone]]. Limestone can be transformed alchemically to form vitally useful materials such as slaked lime and quicklime.

__TOC__

==Production==
===Quicklime===
Limestone can be cut, crushed, or pulverised and then alchemically altered. It can be burned in a special kiln and the heat converts the limestone into '''quicklime'''. This is also known as burnt lime or unslaked lime, and is a highly caustic material. 

===Slaked lime===
Quicklime can be slaked, which is a process where subsequent addition of water forms it into the less caustic slaked lime or hydrated lime. This is also called slaking of lime.

==Uses==
Slaked lime is used across the world in for mortars and plasters, and has been in use since before recorded history. Estimates exist that this material was already being used by ancient manush before 6000 BP, and some theorise that it was taught to people by the [[Old Ones]] themselves.

Mixing lime and volcanic ash can create a special reaction that forms a cement that can be strengthened by seawater. While normal cements are damaged by saltwater, if this mixture is combined with fragments of volcanic tuff rock and placed under seawater, the seawater reacts with the lime in a non-ethyric alchemical reaction that solidifies the mixture. 

When the term lime is encountered in an agricultural context, it usually refers to crushed limestone, not a product of a lime kiln. Otherwise it most commonly means slaked lime, as the more dangerous form is usually described more specifically as quicklime or burnt lime. 

==History==
The earliest known use of lime was mostly as a binder on floors and in plaster for coating walls, dating to the time before the Old Ones. This use of plaster may in turn have led to the development of proto-pottery, made from lime and ash. In mortar, the oldest binder was mud. Mud was soon followed by clay, and then by lime.

==Description==
 souls can be placed into metal through a little known and arcane process of binding the soul into the metal. While this can be done with any metal, the resultant metal is usually referred to as soulsteel regardless.

A soulghost exists within the metal in a manner similar to how a soul exists within a physical body.

'''Aegis''', or an aegis shield, is the term used to refer to an intangible shield that wards off physical damage. Some sources refer to them as wards, or even as energy shields, but it is agreed that these all refer to things now classed as an aegis. 

An aegis is an [[Ethyr|ethyric]] [[Ethyric Construct|construct]], and makes use of special [[enchantment Weaves|enchantment weaves]] to distribute a field of warding energy that encompasses an object. Though the default shape is usually a torus or a sphere, through more complicated weaves, the aegis' shape can be customised thoroughly to even conform to the shape of a suit of armour (such as [[ethyrmaille]]), forming an extra layer of protection. 

== Creation ==
{{for|Enchantment Weaves|more information on how enchantment can be used to create an Aegis|this page on enchantment weaves}}
Mastery over [[enchantment Weaves|enchantment weaves]] are essential to creating an aegis. The creation process involves using the weaves to harvest [[light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] present in the region and convert it into a projection that vibrates back and forth extremely fast, extremely quickly, and extremely precisely.

== Specifics ==
An aegis can be made thicker or thinner in regions to allow for maximum safety or for less restricted movement. It is usually thickest around the head and chest region, and this extra thickness means it is able to ward off more damage. Aegises must completely enclose an object, which makes it difficult to incorporate in static defences such as city walls or gates, but the [[itzatecah]] have been known to be able to create dome-like aegises to protect entire cities, demonstrating their more advanced understanding of aegis technology. 

This limitation also means that when an aegis is added to a suit of armour, it must be tuned so that it is thin below the feet or the man-at-arms will find their step unsteady as if they are walking on ice, and must be made thinner over the hands to allow the user to grasp and manipulate objects. For some soldiers, this downside is enough of a disadvantage that they will dismiss their aegis in order to have more solid footing or a better grip, but this comes as the obvious risk of being vulnerable to harm. 

Anything that impacts the shield is slowed down to a standstill by the aegis' energy repelling it and the energy heats it up, often melting or even flash vaporising the object it contacts. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. This does not affect the ground, as the aegis pushes back against the blunt pressure of the normal force without any explosive effects. 

However, the excess heat produced by such defensive actions is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to temperature changes. As a result, once an aegis has absorbed enough damage it automatically dismisses itself in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer alive. This causes the remainder of the ethyric energy to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr energy stored, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

== Advantages and Disadvantages ==
When armour is enchanted with an aegis, it makes the user more resistant to attacks that can cause harm. Although the user is made vastly more durable, this is not infinite and the aegis can be overwhelmed by dedicated attacks designed to do so. Massed projectiles, [[Melinorati#Cheirosiphon|flaming substances]], and massive blunt trauma can dissipate an aegis quickly. If the user is able to safely disengage and allow the harness to cool down and collect more light-ethyr, the aegis can recharge and make itself ready to be summoned again.

 Plate is good at stopping arrows and 

 Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

    <text bytes="9314" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical aegis shield that protects them from incoming damage, the ability to heal wounds sustained, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost as though they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey metal, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour actually heavier than the very plates themselves, at around 2 kg without the straps. This lightweight metal is suspected by experts to be some alloy of [[vitalium]] and [[electricium]].

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are capable of such.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

=== Aegis ===
{{for|Aegis}}
Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the aegis shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This aegis is thinner and can be dismissed around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and is thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The aegis consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the aegis. This causes the remainder of the energy of the shield to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

=== Further Ideas ===
 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means that for most merely the threat of a wager for it tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the myriad of parts involved. Doing it alone can be very slow, though still possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of high-quality plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, or just a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed, such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before the arming doublet is donned or after it is removed.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the [[aegis]] enchantment and therefore disabling it is the highest priority for an opponent. The aegis does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more quickly. Furthermore, the aegis is all or nothing - if it is overwhelmed it will fail and cease to exist, resulting in making the wearer relatively vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour in the same way as when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

{{quote|A warrior in ethyrmaille looks almost as though they are from another place and time.|Terraps Terclowe}}

'''Ethyrmaille''' is an ancient and enchanted type of full plate armour found on Terracil. It has extensive enchantments woven through it granting the wearer a magical aegis shield that protects them from incoming damage, the ability to heal wounds sustained, and enhanced dexterity and strength. The exact secrets to its creation have been lost, but modern ethyr scholars and enchantment scientists are working towards learning how it was done to potentially recreate someday. 

__TOC__

== Appearance ==
Ethyrmaille sets are crafted out of plates of metal to cover the wearer much like ordinary plate armour. When all components are worn and  put together, the entire body is usually fully enclosed. Joints are often composed of smaller overlapping plates bound together, removing gaps. The natural colour of ethyrmaille is a very pale grey metal, almost resembling white ceramics. In practice, many surviving sets have been repainted to look how the wearer wishes. 

A full set of unenchanted ethyrmaille weighs 5.1 kg but when enchanted the weight becomes a mere 1.3 kg, just about the weight of a normal set of clothes. This makes the [[elfweave]] gambeson worn underneath the armour actually heavier than the very plates themselves, at around 2 kg without the straps. This lightweight metal is suspected by experts to be some alloy of [[vitalium]] and [[electricium]].

== Abilities and Enchantments ==
{{quote|We're outnumbered 50 to 1? Piss poor odds for them.|Kelly}}

It is commonly regarded that a warrior in ethyrmaille is almost a one-man army, and though this is an exaggeration the truth is that the power ethyrmaille gives a fighter cannot be underestimated. Ethyrmaille's abilities are fuelled through ethyr, as the armour has the inbuilt capability to suck in ethyr from its surroundings when it needs to. The user is also able to manually feed it ethyr they have collected if they are capable of such.

It is said that in the past, ethyrmaille was able to alter the wearer's weight to allow a warrior to be heavy when needed or light as a feather to be able to survive great falls. 

=== Aegis ===
{{for|Aegis}}
Ethyrmaille differs from ordinary platemail armour for a variety of reasons, but the foremost difference is due to the aegis shield. Enchantments woven into the plates follow specially crafted channels to distribute a field of warding energy that completely encompasses the armour. This aegis is thinner and can be dismissed around the hands and under the feet to allow for the user less restricted movement and hand function, and is thicker around the head and chest to ensure maximum safety. The aegis consists of light-ethyr converted into a high-energy oscillating electromagnetic field that is tuned to specific frequencies. Anything that impacts the ward shield is slowed down to a standstill by the high-power magnetic field repelling it and heated up, often melting or even flash vaporising. Arrows vaporise in a gust of fire, swords go soft with heat, and heavy maces bounce back from the impact, half-melted in a puff of flame. 

The excess heat however is absorbed by the aegis, which is sensitive to being heated up. As a result, once a ward shield has absorbed enough damage it fails in order to avoid the heat burning the wearer, dropping the aegis. This causes the remainder of the energy of the shield to manifest across the surface of the armour as small electric crackles. Once the heat has been dissipated, and if there is enough ethyr to use, the aegis can be put back up again. During the downtime, there is no shield at all and the wearer is vulnerable to conventional damage.

=== Further Ideas ===
 The attaching plate is enchanted to weigh almost nothing, so it feels comfortable to wear. (❇️+🪨 used in conjunction can lower the mass of something below half) The plate is not made of steel so it's immune to ferromagnetic pushing and pulling magic. Instead, it could be made of the magnesium aluminium alloy which itself is super light and stronger than steel.

 The plate armour is also enchanted with a magic energy shield that works like Mjolnir. (☄️&gt;☀️ should be able to replicate sci-fi energy shield with plasma and can recharge under sunlight) Can take decent punishment, but can still be popped, although it does recharge quickly. Essentially immune to swords, but vulnerable to massed projectiles. Or should it be immune to projectiles but only in CQC can it be overwhelmed? Enhance plate or opposite plate? Opposite sounds fun and more like Halo with Tilt.

 Perhaps enchantments allow for extra strength and speed? Clarity of thought? On the verge of too much like shardplate and too magical? Strength + speed - make the armour weightless instead so the wielder is 'stronger' and 'faster'. Thought - maybe a prospective wielder must undergo magical enhancing like the witchers or Yennifer.

 The plate is form fitting which means most wearers need to have adjustments made to make it fit. Worry about this later.

 Visor? Large visor, can be brought down like normal or left up and rely on energy shield. Somehow transparent metal visor through light magic holograms? (☀️) Astronauts use gold film over polycarbonate plastic. Gold makes everything bluish. Bronze or brass would be cool. ALON transparent aluminium would be perfect, but need access to modern fabrication techniques. Perhaps a surviving artifact from the ancient Old Ones forges. 

 Life/healing magic module that is charged up with ethyr to allow the first few injuries to be healed? (🌿) Modules that reduce the weight of the user so you can be more agile than a normal man. (🪨)
 Modules that grant strength somehow??

 Battlefield role is to enhance plate armoured knight even further and be agile and quicker, while the shield makes them much tankier. If given to enhanced individuals it would be a force-multiplying element, making one soldier worth dozens or even hundreds.

== Acquiring and Donning ==
The knowledge of creating new suits of ethyrmaille has been lost; thus the number of extant suits is limited in number. The only way to acquire a set is to buy it at ruinous expense or to win one from its wearer in battle. On rare occasions, a suit can be bet or used as collateral for duels, but the inherent irreplaceability of the relics means that for most merely the threat of a wager for it tends to clear heads even through the angriest or most drunken states.

Donning the plate is a fairly involved process due to the myriad of parts involved. Doing it alone can be very slow, though still possible. Usually, a team of squires will assist the warrior in donning the plate. The process involves linking the many straps on the arming doublet and the armour, and ensuring the suit is encompassing and comfortable. Once the suit has been fully donned, the enchantments are activated. If they are not, the ethyrmaille suit is merely a well-crafted suit of high-quality plate armour, albeit lighter and harder. Donning the armour alone could take over half an hour, but with even one assistant this could be cut down to 10 minutes. A team of trained squires donning the suit can complete the job fairly quickly at around 5 minutes. 

Removing the armour could be done in 10 minutes alone, or just a minute with a team of squires to help. Certain individual sections are designed to be removed easily by the wearer as needed, such as the gauntlet to allow better gripping or the ability to feel with the fingers. In addition, the faulds can be lifted to allow the wearer access to the arming doublet's crotch region for the ability to urinate when needed, but this is generally awkward and can sometimes require assistance from an ally. Urination is much more difficult for female wearers. Defecation is impossible, necessitating soiling themselves if desperate. As a result, generally relieving one's self will have to happen before the arming doublet is donned or after it is removed.

== Vulnerability ==
Although ethyrmaille is incredibly powerful, it does suffer from key drawbacks. The most protective aspect of the suit is the [[aegis]] enchantment and therefore disabling it is the highest priority for an opponent. The aegis does well deflecting blunt trauma but piercing attacks tend to drain its power more quickly. Furthermore, the aegis is all or nothing - if it is overwhelmed it will fail and cease to exist, resulting in making the wearer relatively vulnerable. At this point, conventional anti-plate weapons can be used, such as blunt force weapons which are able to deliver their impacts through the armour in the same way as when used on regular platemail.

The metal alloys that compose the ethyrmaille plates are stronger than the steel used in platemail. However, this does not mean it cannot still be damaged by the application of strong forces. An arrow from a longbow is usually deflected much like conventional plate, and the impact of swords can be shrugged off with contempt. However, more powerful crossbow bolts, application of flames, or suffocation remain as major concerns for the wearer.

    <text bytes="14335" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to promote growth despite the usual drawbacks animals experience. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage. Though this comes at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, the sheer abundance of luminiferous and viridaerious ethyr more than compensates and makes these tropical regions particularly lush. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output. Though this comes at the cost of higher likelihood of sunburns in areas with more direct sustained sunlight, this has resulted in the yellow-orange plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to thrive on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals, usually &lt;decide between monotreme, marsupial, or placental varieties&gt;.

Some examples include:
* Wyverns

=== Meli ===
[[File:Globe cropped Meli.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the central lake-oases in meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
By far the largest continent, Eur stretches from the [[Mammutia]] in the west to the eastmost point of [[Shimei]], and stretching from the icy tundras near the north pole through to the temperate zone of the southern hemisphere at its southmost tip. 

Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

 Modern Manu/Dro Asi continent (eurasi)
 
==== [[Thena]] ====
Thena is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== [[Meli]] ====
Meli is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island
** Desert
** Rainforest
** Monsoon Savannahs
** South Medi coast
** Northern Subtropicals
* Northeast Medi regions
* East Jungle
* West Jungle
* North Savannah
* The Desert Belt
* South Steppes
* Southern Savannahs
* Southern temperate hills
* Mediterranean
* South Island
* South Continental
* East Arid Zone
* Southeast Mountain Tundras

[[File:North Island narrow heightmap wilbur.png|thumb]]

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

==== Other Continents ====

Itzafrica
Dino Afr Itzatecah divided into the following bioregions:

 Jungles 
 Dominated by Itzatecah
 
 Southern Savannah 
 Itzatecah colonies

 Northern Desert 
 Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons.
 
 Northern Mediterranean 

 Southern Temperate 
 Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have two moons as well as the only inner planet to have a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard, and it is just the density that is lower than standard. 

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world as well as those who live near large bodies of water that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon as well as observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. 

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight in wells or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

== Welcome to {{SITENAME}}! ==
Welcome to '''{{SITENAME}}''', the wiki about everything in the world of Terracil, created by the OfficialTerracil. Do you want to know more about [[Melinorati]], [[The Halfling]], [[Moonstone]], and everything else Terracil? You've come to the right place!

Discovering this for the first time? All of the stories written by OfficialTerracil are set on a planet named [[Terracil]], sharing the same origin creation story and myths, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the world, check out:

 '''Tech Tree of Worldbuilding'''
 Heightmap for each landmass
   Do HM for each section
     For Thena, complete the larger region one first, based off satellite image heightmaps
     For Acrifa, complete the larger region one first
 Names for each continent
   Will require a naming language at least
 Wiki pages for each continent (in [[Ecology]] alongside the biogeographic realms) and then individual pages for each biome and the organisms (flora and fauna that live there)
 Use this to figure out which areas have which goods, resources, foods, or dangers.
 e.g. mediterranean area with modern earth-like conditions could have medit. herbs, olive trees, and animals like goats and sheep. whereas a coastal desert with late cretac ecology might have different herbs, food animals, and flavours which would cause local cuisines to be very different and unique to them.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and a ring system. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have both moons and a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Otherwise, its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard.

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world, as well as those who live near large bodies of water, that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon in addition to observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. Furthermore, the shadow of Terracil on its own ring system provides potent proof of the planet's roundness and has sparked a great degree of mathematical and astronomical development as people sought to understand the world around them.

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight shining down wells, or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sindar term for silver, whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass, which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== [[Meli]] ====
Meli is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

    <text bytes="5919" xml:space="preserve">'''Elfweave''' is a strong silk-like textile made from synthetic fibres. Rare and expensive, it can only be made in certain [[Sicai]] [[Crafttown|crafttowns]] on the coast. These fibres have a variety of applications from strings that can sustain high tension or be made into sturdy ropes, to weaved textiles such as silken clothing for high nobility or exceptionally durable padded arming doublets. 

__TOC__

== Discovery &amp; Manufacture ==
[[File:Kelp.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Kelp growing underwater with fish swimming through it.|Kelp is a vital ingredient for the synthesis of elfweave]]

Elfweave was discovered by sicai [[myaner]] circa xxx in a fishing village built around a crafttown. The exact circumstances of the discovery are not known, but what can be gleaned from the limited sources available suggests highly skilled craftsmen were involved in an experiment including crab shells and a particular variety of brown kelp. 

Modern manufacture of elfweave involves using advanced grinding techniques to turn purified and treated crab shell into the finest of powders. A type of gum is extracted from the kelp after multiple steps, and once mixed with water, the crab shell powder is added. The resultant mixture displays intriguing properties, as it can be pulled out and spun into yarn, and in the hands of incredibly skilled weavers, can be made into a fine silk-like thread. This can then be set in a saltwater bath which solidifies the string and gives it great strength. Though the ingredients are cheap, the process is labour intensive to produce the yarn, and the necessity of a crafttown's resources and a highly skilled weaver means the silk threads are incredibly expensive.

The crab shells must be ground into an incredibly fine powder for this to work, and mere mortars and pestles cannot be used as the process will not yield quality yarn. The resources of a crafttown thus ensures that it is one of the few locations where such an in-demand resource can be made.

== Uses of Elfweave ==
The spun fibres have many applications. The rough grade yarn can be made into tough ropes or heavy duty netting or fishing lines, as benefits the coastal community where such goods can be made. The medium fine grades also weave well into ropes, whereas the finer grades have more varied uses. Due to the expense, the silk-like fibres have become a status symbol in fashion, being used to form a variety of sheer skin-tight clothing from silken elfweave as well as varieties of water-resistant clothing. When the fibres are woven into a fabric, it is known as elfweave.

The strength of elfweave was noted and compared to that of spider-silk. When combined with spider-silk, elfweave fibres can be made into lightweight and incredible durable basketweave cloth that can be layered many times without adding too much thickness. A gambeson made from this variety of elfweave can be almost a third as thick and many times more protective, even imparting resistance to piercing weapons. 

=== Elfweave Gambesons ===
Due to the importance of such highly defensive materials, many War Masters make deals with sicai crafttowns to buy elfweave gambesons. These military-grade gambesons are manufactured specially to conform to the varying demands of the War Masters and their needs. Gambesons can be purchased to look like stylish uniforms, so that a commander can look the part while still prepared to don protective armour, or made to avoid the bulky feel of normal linen ones. Such suits are often dyed to match house colours or Warrior ranks or designations. Alternatively, elfweave arming doublets can stretch from hood to heel and can come with inbuilt straps to fit the varying parts of platemaille to. Such under armour weaves can vary wildly in colour as per the purchaser's specifications.

==== Ethyrmaille ====
The most famous use, however, is certainly the arming doublets specifically designed to fit with [[ethyrmaille]]. These are thicker than standard and cover the myaner from the head to toe. They are usually dyed black to avoid detracting from the spectacle that is a suit of ethyrmaille, but can be made in different colours if requested. As such, these must be tailored to specific individuals and have to be woven with care to ensure a perfect fit. Reinforced with elastic rubber fibres to form into a stretchy material, an opening in the chest allows the myaner to step into the leggings and pull the sleeves and hood over before finally tying the opening closed. The sleeves end in gloves that can be partly detached if needed, hanging from the wrist. 

Further padding is usually added to regions such as the chest or head that require more protection from percussive blows. Every surface of the doublet is covered in attachment points for ethyrmaille, from the arms and legs to even special glove straps to attach the individually shaped plates for the joints of the fingers. The glove means a wearer is practically immune to the dangers of half-swording as the slash-resistant nature of elfweave prevents the hands from being cut even when grappling with the sharp end of a sword. If plate maille cannot cover a part of the body, such as the armpit or groin, chainmaille gussets could be woven into the doublet in these locations as a layer or hung on to act as a skirt, but due to ethyrmaille's high quality of craftsmanship this is usually not as necessary. 

This makes every elfweave gambeson a unique piece of exquisite craftsmanship, from the overall shape suited to an individual's form, the unique arrangements of extra padding and armour, and the colours dyed into the weave. All in all this makes anyone who wears it not only a remarkable sight, but very hard to kill, and the incredible synergies with ethyrmaille solidifies the common idea that elfweave was divinely made for it.

    <text bytes="9346" xml:space="preserve">Manush are a sapient species that live on Terracil. 

__TOC__


== Description ==
Manush are bipedal mammals, possessing two arms and legs, 5 fingers per hand of which one is a thumb, and plantigrade feet. They have hair over their entire bodies, but most of it is light and almost invisible aside from areas like the scalp, genital regions for physically mature individuals, or extra secondary sexual features on males such as beards or chest hair. There are great variances between different subspecies of manush in almost all aspects. 

=== Types of Manush ===
The incredible diversity of manush subspecies can be categorised into seven broad groups, listed below. It is possible for different subspecies to interbreed, albeit rarely, and these half-breeds usually are absorbed back into the populations of one of their parents, carrying with them some minor elements of a differing bloodline. 

One example of this is how in ha''manush'' populations, there are races who have m'ha''manush'' blood and display characteristics such as adaptations for living at altitudes, or having an easier time putting on fat as a result of  w'ha''manush'' heritage.

Manush can on very rare occasion interbreed with myaner or drokha. The vast majority of the time such couplings yield no offspring at all, but there have been historical incidences of half-breeds who are infertile. There is also theorised to be myaner blood within the k'ha''manush'', which is what contributes to their unique physique amongst manush, as well as their greater lifespans.

===== Ha''manush'' =====
Ha''manush'' are the most populous species of human, and have more diversity than any other species of sapient people on the planet. On the whole, ha''manush'' are intelligent, built more gracile than most other manush species, and have an elbow joint adapted better to throwing items, an ability which has proved very helpful to their survival as winning combat at range helps avoid potentially fatal damage to their more fragile bodies. 

Ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and have puberty from 9-13, and are considered mature from anywhere between 14 to 17 years of age.

===== W'ha''manush'' =====
W'ha''manush'' are well adapted to cold environments and their bodies are more stockily built, allowing for better absorption of blunt forces. This makes them much more survivable in a fight against heavier prey or predator combat engagements. They also have more easily put on fat deposits which help them to maintain themselves in the cold. The w'ha are closely related to m'ha''manush'' and share many similarities. 

W'ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and encounter puberty around their 12th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 14 or 15.

===== M'ha''manush'' =====
M'ha''manush'' are closely related to w'ha''manush'' and share many of the same adaptations. They are similarly well adapted to the cold and while more stockily built, are less so than the w'ha. Additionally, they have significant adaptations for surviving at high altitudes. Like w'ha''manush'', m'ha can be distinguished by their strong brow ridges, large noses, and a prominent nub on the back of their skulls. 

M'ha''manush'' usually live to around 60-75 years old, and encounter puberty around their 12th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 14 or 15.

===== Cha''manush'' =====
Cha''manush'' are the smallest type of manush, at 3.5 to 4 feet tall. They are gregarious, and often maintain a strong community. Sometimes males have most of the body covered in hair except the face. While they have small heads and thus small brains, they are not less intelligent than other manush, despite the seemingly primitive traits they display, such as a lack of a chin or large premolar teeth.

Cha''manush'' usually live to around 90-105 years old, and encounter puberty after their 20th year. They are usually considered mature around age 26 or 27.

===== La''manush'' =====
La''manush'' are usually shorter than ha'manush'', but are usually stronger. They are easily recognisable facially as they have a much greater proportion of the face dedicated to the lower jaw which juts out but does not have a protruding chin, highly prominent cheekbones, and the distinct broad forehead and brow ridge that they share with the w'ha and m'ha''manush''. 

M'ha''manush'' usually live to around 55-70 years old, and encounter puberty around their 11th year. They are considered mature once puberty is complete, usually around age 12-14.

===== Sa''manush'' =====
Sa''manush'' can be recognised by a wide face, possessing large eyes and nose and a large mouth, in addition to the strong brow ridge. The forehead recedes and is topped by a generous head of hair whose strands are often thinner than other manush. 

Sa''manush'' usually live to around 70-90 years old, and encounter puberty between the ages of 9-13. They are considered mature from anywhere between 14-17 years of age.

===== K'ha''manush'' =====
K'ha''manush'' are the tallest species of manush, and are rather unique in many respects. They are tall and willowy, much more gracile than even ha''manush'', and have features that verge on childlike, with their large eyes and mostly hairless bodies. They are agile and light of build, and are capable of running great distances though they are not as good at throwing as ha''manush'' are. 

K'ha''manush'' are known to be highly long-lived, usually surviving to see their 120s or even 150s. They usually reach puberty around 14-16 years old, but depending on culture may not be considered full grown until they are 17 or even 25.

== History ==

Manush, like the Myaner and Drokha, evolved from early hominids that lived in the savannahs of the Great Eastern Rift Valley. The valley was populated by homo erectus, and as that species spread out across the lands to the north and south they discovered new places to live. Over time these populations adapted further to their new lands and biomes and diverged, forming the many species of Manush, Myaner, and Drokha. The Manush population exhibited the greatest extent of physiological diversity from the diminutive ''cha''manush, to the tall and slender ''kha-ka''manush, to the heavily built ''w'ha''manush. These peoples all displayed great diversity in their bodies, skills, and minds, but are yet all recognisably humans, sharing a kinship to all Manush through their various interbreeding, as well as to Drokha and Myaner through the shared characteristics of having a mind capable of thought and speech. 

The early Manush lived in bands of individuals from small families around 10 individuals as seen in ''w'ha''manush to larger tribes 50 strong  as seen in the tight-knit social structures of ''cha''manush. It is currently unknown how ethyr users were seen or how they were integrated into tribes, indeed if at all, and it likely differs greatly based on which of the ethyric arts were practised. It is likely that growth, fire, and solar light-ethyr were the most commonly used, as these would have been the most useful to neolithic hunter-gatherers to justify the extra resources required. It is likely around this time that wolves were domesticated into dogs and incorporated as part of a tribe to help with hunting. 

It is theorised that the use of growth flavour light-ethyr was a major contributor to the agricultural revolution, as it would have been more convenient and beneficial for tribes to set up more permanently around food sources they could grow. However, due to limited lifespans, it is possible that these early farming communities fell apart and starved or otherwise abandoned agriculture once the druid/lifemage died. If this is the case, knowledge of agriculture could have been widespread and merely needed the right time, place, and population for a spark to catch and remain past the death of a lifemage, or perhaps sheer luck and multiple lifemages were enough to kickstart this new means of life. Other theories name climate change and the lessening availability of food to hunter-gatherer peoples as the main reason people took to agriculture. 

Once Manush began to grow their own plants for food, and domesticating goats, pigs, sheep, and cattle, the population saw a quick rise, leading to urbanisation and higher-density populations. This gave rise to the first cities. Due to the division of labour required for farming crops, raising animals, and managing an urban environment, class stratification occurred across many of these urban centres. The leading class varied between cultures, however, as in some places it was kings and viziers who lead urban planning, priests who lead through faith, or mages who wielded power through the ethyr and their importance to the steadiness of the food supply, or even a mixture such as the priest-kings of Sumer or the Mage-Priests of Egypt. Most of these city-states were governed by a monarchy or a council of leaders in an oligarchy.

__TOC__


== Description ==
Manush are bipedal mammals, possessing two arms and legs, 5 fingers per hand of which one is a thumb, and plantigrade feet. They have hair over their entire bodies, but most of it is light and almost invisible aside from areas like the scalp, genital regions for physically mature individuals, or extra secondary sexual features on males such as beards or chest hair. There are great variances between different subspecies of manush in almost all aspects. 

=== Types of Manush ===
The incredible diversity of manush subspecies can be categorised into seven broad groups, listed below. It is possible for different subspecies to interbreed, albeit rarely, and these half-breeds usually are absorbed back into the populations of one of their parents, carrying with them some minor elements of a differing bloodline. 

One example of this is how in ha''manush'' populations, there are races who have m'ha''manush'' blood and display characteristics such as adaptations for living at altitudes, or having an easier time putting on fat as a result of  w'ha''manush'' heritage.

Manush can on very rare occasion interbreed with myaner or drokha. The vast majority of the time such couplings yield no offspring at all, but there have been historical incidences of half-breeds who are infertile. There is also theorised to be myaner blood within the k'ha''manush'', which is what contributes to their unique physique amongst manush, as well as their greater lifespans.

    <text bytes="7715" xml:space="preserve">The Myaner are a collection of species and subspecies of human relatives that live on Terracil. Known colloquially as Elves, there are in fact 5 separate species belonging to the ''Myaner'' genus. Along with Drokha and Manush, the Myaner are all technically considered to be humans. Myaner can usually be distinguished via key physiological differences, but there is a great deal of variance and occasionally overlap with Manush looks. Despite this, Myaner tend to very rarely reach senescence, and as such are considered the Eldest Race. 

__TOC__


== Description ==

Myaner vary greatly in form across their different species or subspecies. It is debated on whether ''Myaner'' represent a separate species from ''Homo'' or whether they are in fact ''Homo myaner'' spp. Regardless, Myaner can be divided into 5 subgroups:

* [[Nuwyverni]] - These are known to Men as the Dragon Elves, due to their cohabiting the island continent of [[Lovyrn]] where dragons live. It is due to this Elven word that the word wyvern is derived. These myaner are most commonly confused for humans, as they possess similar builds to humans, both male and female, have the least pronounced points on their ears, and and have white sclera in their eyes. Furthermore, they are the most likely to have the brown melanin humans possess, allowing them to pass for humans, albeit ethereally attractive ones.
* [[Aelmyaner]] - These are known to Men as the High Elves, due to their own term for themselves meaning 'the true people'. They are the tallest of elves, with longer pointed ears and the classic inky myaner eyes. Their skin tones are also likely to range into the pale greyish-blue, although more human-like individuals are not unheard of. 
* [[Sicai]] - Known to Men as the Sea Elves, this is in part due to their love of the sea and sailing, but also in part due to the proclivity for individuals to be swarthier in the bluer spectrum of myaner colouration. 
* [[Eytor]] - Known to Men as Wood Elves, these people can be distinguished by their dappled skin tones, often resembling heavy freckles on the face but becoming more like the dappling of light through leaves on the rest of the body. These elves possess the typical myaner inky eyes as well as the longest pointy ears out of all myaner species. 
* [[Dinray]] - Known to Men as Snow Elves, they can be distinguished due to their commonly short statures and the monochrome skin tones, ranging from dark grey to pale white.

== Sexual dimorphism ==

== Life cycle ==
Myaner have a reputation for being immortal but this is untrue, as myaner simply have longer lifespans than most other inhabitants of Terracil. The exact lifespan varies by subspecies of myaner, but even the least long-lived race of myaner far outcompetes any manush. 

Myaner pregnancy lasts between 220 to 270 days, with the comparatively robust nuwyverni at the longer end of the spectrum and the slighter dinray at the lower end. This equals to approximately 11 to 13.5 silver lunar months, (just over half a year) and usually shorter than a ha manush pregnancy. Once born, the baby would breastfeed before being weaned on the same foods adults would eat. 

Myaner experience multiple 'puberties' throughout their life. The onset of the first is usually around 14-21 (17-25 EY) years old, and myaner usually are considered to be adults once they have reached 22-28 (25-33) years of age. As many myaner count time in periods of 11 years (sometimes nicknamed a decade), this usually means they reach adulthood at 2 or 2.5 'decades'.

The onset of second puberty usually occurs at around the middle of the lifespan. This is often a period of a few years where the body goes through several physiological changes that mark a myaner as mature visually, and changes to the brain that allow an individual to be able to 'fast-forward' time. This usually is used by mature myaner to help get through menial tasks and prevent mental fatigue when engaging in routine and free up memories. This can affect an individual's ability to make memories during these times, as well as lowering social cohesion during difficult times. 

Lastly, some myaner species experience another, third, puberty, which takes place sometime just before reaching the latter quarter or fifth of the lifespan. In this change, the myaner who do go through this see major reshufflings of their mental faculties and cognitive ability. 

 To do with being able to deal with a millennia's worth of memories? selective memory pruning? LOTR ROP Elrond vs Durin inspo? 
 Also ability to manipulate their own perception of time. Perhaps second puberty allows for the blurring of weeks and months into mere days, and the ability to fast forward time, and third puberty unlocks the ability to do both fast forward and slow-mo perception of time simultaneously. This would be useful for easily seeing the big picture while also focusing on the details. Used in battle as Elven Battle Prowess or something. Great for observations, and associated with advanced wisdom in their cultures. 


 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 0.823 = Terracil years (TY)
 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.823

 Myaner children experience a quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are.[1]:209-10 Elves' bodies developed slower than those of Men, but their minds developed more swiftly.[1]:209-10 In their twenties, they might still appear physically seven years old, though the Elf-child would have mature language and skill,[2]:228 whereas Men at the same age are already physically mature.[1]:210

Many myaner have a reputation for living close to nature and in forests, which is indeed not an unwarranted one, but this reputation is earned due to the many benefits the myaner receive from such close cohabitation with trees. Firstly and most importantly, one of the main components to the secret of elven long lives is due to the ability to passively absorb life magic from surrounding plants that exude it. This constant infusion of the energies of growth and healing into their bodies is what allows them to shrug off the effects of ageing, from wrinkles to accumulated aches and strains in muscles and joints that in manush compound into causing the effects of old age. As a result the myaner are eager to ensure there is a healthy amount of greenery nearby in proportion to their population, and why they object in such a horrified manner to the destruction of woods and forests. 

The other main reason the myaner have their reputation for loving forests is due to the practice the Eytor began with their vast acorn farms.  Once it was discovered that acorns were nourishing and bread could be made of their ground flour, it quickly became the staple crop of an entire people, as it could be farmed within the Oak forests without the need to deforest and plant other crops, and the trees fit the already pre-existing lifestyle. [[Acorn bread]] is still the primary staple food for many of the Eytor people. Their vast neatly organised farms can be remarkably well hidden, surrounded by forest, and can even be passed through by trespassers without them knowing.

 Meditation trial where they have to meditate for days in the wilderness seeing time go by quickly but also excruciatingly slowly for days as they deal with hunger and thirst. Come back after week(s) emaciated but considered a great accomplishment.

    <text bytes="1586" xml:space="preserve">The most common calendar employed by the majority of myaner cultures across Terracil is the standardised Undecade Calendar. This is a period of 4885 days (or 11 years) divided into 44 months of 111 days each. The 44 months are simply the 4 seasons in an 11-year cycle.

The first day of each month is the solstice or equinox of the season, and this marks the beginning point for the season in the eyes of myaner. Older versions of the calendar (pre-standardisation) varied on whether to use the solstice as a start or end point or as a middle point for the season, but the standardised system from 2800BP onwards begins each season with the solstice, for ease of measurement. 

The 'year' begins with a special festival day known as the Day of XXX. On this day, different cultures will practice different rituals, ranging from solemn remembrances to raucous feasts or celebrations. Many myaner extend this celebration to be a two day affair, making the solstice to fall between the two days. For others, the following day to the Day of XXX is when the Winter Solstice is held, and this may hold other cultural significance. The month ends after 111 days have elapsed, upon which the next month starts with the 1st Day of the 1st Spring, which always falls on the Spring Solstice. 

Months are split up into nineteen 6-day weeks. The last week of each winter month extends into spring, straddling the two seasons, and similarly, so too does the last week of each summer month extend into autumn. Overall, this makes for 74 weeks per cycle of season, and 814 weeks per full 11-year cycle.</text>

    <text bytes="14358" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to promote growth despite the usual drawbacks animals experience. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage. Though this comes at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, the sheer abundance of luminiferous and viridaerious ethyr more than compensates and makes these tropical regions particularly lush. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output. Though this comes at the cost of higher likelihood of sunburns in areas with more direct sustained sunlight, this has resulted in the yellow-orange plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to thrive on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals, usually &lt;decide between monotreme, marsupial, or placental varieties&gt;.

Some examples include:
* Wyverns

=== Meli ===
[[File:Globe cropped Meli.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the central lake-oases in meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

=== Eur ===
By far the largest continent, Eur stretches from the [[Mammutia]] in the west to the eastmost point of [[Shimei]], and stretching from the icy tundras near the north pole through to the temperate zone of the southern hemisphere at its southmost tip. 

Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

    <text bytes="14795" xml:space="preserve">[[File:Little plant.jpg|300px|thumb|right|alt=Little green plant.|The flora and fauna of Terracil is the source of much beauty.]]

The '''ecology''' of [[Terracil]] is, on the whole, usually familiar to someone from Earth but with some key differences. In response to the unique circumstances created by [[Sun|an F6 star]] and with [[ethyr]] available, the flora on [[Terracil]] evolved a variety of types of chlorophyll to deal with the sun's radiation. One way they do this is by making use of [[Light-Ethyr#Life-Ethyr|life-ethyr]] to promote growth despite the usual drawbacks animals experience. This makes Terracil's tropical regions very fertile and its jungles fast-growing and more resilient to declining conditions. 

__TOC__

In the equatorial regions, plants have more blue chlorophyll as they have evolved to reflect peak stellar output to protect themselves from damage. Though this comes at the cost of less efficient photosynthesis, the sheer abundance of luminiferous and viridaerious ethyr more than compensates and makes these tropical regions particularly lush. 

Meanwhile, in polar regions where there is still enough sunlight and warmth to grow, plants have adopted more yellow to almost orange chlorophyll to make better use of all the available sunlight, using the complement of the peak stellar output. Though this comes at the cost of higher likelihood of sunburns in areas with more direct sustained sunlight, this has resulted in the yellow-orange plants surviving in latitudes higher than one would expect plants to thrive on Earth.

These types of chlorophyll coexist in more temperate regions and as a result there is variety to the colours plants can be across the world, with green still being the dominant colour of plant growth as the blues and yellows mix. A typical forest may even have bright blue trees interspersed among a green forest that features yellow, orange, and dark red sporadically mixed in, giving Terracil forests a slightly more colourful feeling than on Earth.

Furthermore, a mass extinction 65 million years ago resulted in many non-avian dinosaur species going extinct across major areas of the world, but in some areas they clung on and adapted to the new landscape. As a result, the extant fauna on Terracil ranges from continents dominated by mammals, derived avialans, or non-avian dinosaurs, as well as the many sapient species that inhabit the planet. 

==Biogeographic Regions==
=== Thena ===
[[File:Thena globe cropped.png|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The continent of [[Thena]] is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

The dominant fauna of Thena consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals, usually &lt;decide between monotreme, marsupial, or placental varieties&gt;.

Some examples include:
* Wyverns

=== Meli ===
[[File:Globe cropped Meli.png|300px|thumb|right|alt=Map with the main continent highlighted in green|Thena's location on the globe]]
The Meli is divided into the following bioregions:
* The desert belt - A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

{{quote|Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed.|Excerpt from a tale set in the central lake-oases in meli land}}

The dominant fauna of the Meli continent consists of non-avian dinosaurs, with species of theropods, sauropods, and various clades of ornithopods adapted to the different bioregions that can be found here. Mammal species are also present here, as are birds, other reptilians such as squamates, suchians, and testudines, and also amphibians.

=== Itza ===
The Itza continent is partially connected to Eur, the largest of the main biogeographic realms, and is located east of Meli and south/west of Eur. Itza is divided into the following bioregions:

* Jungles - Dominated by Itzatecah
* Southern Savannah - Itzatecah colonies
* Northern Desert - Egyptian style civilisation along a river. Influence from Izt pyramids as they build their own pyramid beacons. 
* Northern Mediterranean 
* Southern Temperate - Manush, who have some contact with Itzatecah. Prime location for those human cities with Itzatecah pylons. 

The dominant fauna of the NA consists of xxx such as:

Hordes of skink workers farm rice in wet paddies. Each skink produces a little more than what he needs to live, so this necessitates a very advanced and strict management system of bureaucracy to ensure everyone stays on task or the settlement starves. These large skink populations support the warrior class of saurus. Overall this results in rice-based itzatecah civilisations to have strict disciplinary traditions in their culture.

=== Eur ===
By far the largest continent, Eur stretches from the [[Mammutia]] in the west to the eastmost point of [[Shimei]], and stretching from the icy tundras near the north pole through to the temperate zone of the southern hemisphere at its southmost tip. 

Paleo-modern, Manush
* Asi 
Modern, Manu+Drokha

== Flora ==
This is a list of all the currently known types of flora that are found on Terracil that are most notable for those from Earth.

* Plant found in swamps that can be used to purify water
* [[Dragonblood]] trees are abortifacient and have a crimson sap that can be used as dye
* Heart plant that can be used as a contraceptive
* Plant that grows in bushes whose flowers only grow facing south (and interact with the magnetic field)
* Camouflage leaves. Perhaps an extract can be used to coat armour to make it reflective/invisible-y?
* Palm-type trees that fade from dark green to yellow tips
* Evergreen-coloured spiky sphere plants that have lime-coloured leafy bushes atop them
* Watermelon type plant where the inside red bit is jelly-like. Yellow horned jelly melon and green jelly melon.
* Some type of thing that grows an egg-like shell that's easily fillable and the insides replaceable? For Melinorati cuisine. Perhaps some invertebrate that grows a thin calcium shell the size and shape of a large olive? More likely to be a grain, like a popped kernel that expands into a shell or just deepfried dough like a golguppa puri.
* [[Purpleheart]] tree - A tree that yields very hard purple wood ideal for bows and tool shafts, similar in properties to yew, but can be further treated to be exceedingly tough. Ranges from reddish purple wood to bluish, with the seed pods providing a source of cheap but low quality purple dye.
* [[Ropevine]]s are a type of common vine that grows extra strongly in the presence of life ethyr, and readily grows around objects such as buildings, trees, or other vines. When they die the vines solidify into a lightweight wood making it a very popular building material as it easily assumes the shape of whatever it grew around, which includes growing inside moulds.
* [[Bunchberries]]! Grow in a bush with clusters of small berries like wild strawberries that resemble grape clusters. There is also a cultivar that looks more like small orange-yellow spheres known as golden bunchberries that taste somewhat between a strawberry and an apricot but with more of caramel hint.

=== Staple Crops ===
A staple food, staple crop, or simply a staple, is a food that is eaten often and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet for a given person or group of people, supplying a large fraction of energy needs and generally forming a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. 

The people of Terracil have many different staple crops, but while they vary place to place, they typically are inexpensive or readily available foods that supply one or more of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed for survival and health: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Typical examples include tubers and roots, grains, legumes, and seeds. Among them, cereals, legumes, tubers, and roots account for about 90% of the world's food calories intake.

Early agricultural civilizations valued the foods that they established as staples because, in addition to providing necessary nutrition, they generally are suitable for storage over long periods of time without decay. Such nonperishable foods are the only possible staples during seasons of shortage, such as dry seasons or cold temperate winters, against which times harvests have been stored. During seasons of plenty, wider choices of foods may be available. 

* Wheat is a grass that grows in grassland conditions.
* Rice is a grass that grows in wet conditions.
* Maize is a grass that is cold-intolerant.
* Potatoes are starchy tubers that grow well in temperate regions.
* NEW IDEA? Cretaceous species, cactus pods? Cycad fruit? Non-grass grain? Quinoa is a good example. (Quinoa cannot handle midsummer frosts but is happy with most temps and altitudes)
* Acorns (Used by Myaner to make [[Acorn bread]])

Consider the pros and cons of each one, what it provides and can be used for, and where it can be grown easily and not so easily. Remember that taking a single species and using it as a staple crop makes it vulnerable to disease such as the potato blight (Ireland had poor genetic diversity in potatoes at the time).

Shimeisuraiku is an empire in the far east of Eur, inhabiting the majority of the north of the Shimei region. The people here are predominantly sa''manush'' and there are remnants of sicai influence on the local mythology thanks to the ruins left behind in the northern forests. 

__TOC__

    Dual Hierarchy: You can maintain the Chinese-inspired hierarchical bureaucratic system as the primary form of governance and administration within your culture. This system could be centralized, reflecting the Chinese influence.

    Regional Autonomy: Incorporate elements of the Germanic feudal system at a regional or local level. This means that while the central government follows a bureaucratic hierarchy, individual regions or territories within your culture may have their own feudal systems.

    Hybrid Nobility: The noble class in your culture could be a blend of Chinese-style officials and Germanic-style knights. This hybrid nobility could serve both administrative and military roles.

    Feudal Estates: While the central government follows a bureaucratic structure, regions or provinces could have their own feudal lords or estates responsible for local governance, similar to the Holy Roman Empire's feudal territories.

    Trade and Economy: Highlight the importance of guilds and trade networks within your culture. These could exist alongside the bureaucratic system, emphasizing economic activity and craftsmanship.

    Cultural Synthesis: Encourage cultural synthesis between the Chinese and Germanic elements. For example, traditional clothing might incorporate elements from both cultures, and festivals could blend customs and traditions from each background.

    Tension and Interaction: Explore the tension and interaction between the two systems. This could lead to interesting dynamics, such as clashes between the central bureaucracy and regional feudal lords.

    Dual Hierarchy: You can maintain the Chinese-inspired hierarchical bureaucratic system as the primary form of governance and administration within your culture. This system could be centralized, reflecting the Chinese influence.
    Regional Autonomy: Incorporate elements of the Germanic feudal system at a regional or local level. This means that while the central government follows a bureaucratic hierarchy, individual regions or territories within your culture may have their own feudal systems.
    Hybrid Nobility: The noble class in your culture could be a blend of Chinese-style officials and Germanic-style knights. This hybrid nobility could serve both administrative and military roles.
    Feudal Estates: While the central government follows a bureaucratic structure, regions or provinces could have their own feudal lords or estates responsible for local governance, similar to the Holy Roman Empire's feudal territories.
    Trade and Economy: Highlight the importance of guilds and trade networks within your culture. These could exist alongside the bureaucratic system, emphasizing economic activity and craftsmanship.
    Cultural Synthesis: Encourage cultural synthesis between the Chinese and Germanic elements. For example, traditional clothing might incorporate elements from both cultures, and festivals could blend customs and traditions from each background.
    Tension and Interaction: Explore the tension and interaction between the two systems. This could lead to interesting dynamics, such as clashes between the central bureaucracy and regional feudal lords.

===Timekeeping===
The people of Shimeisuraiku divide the day into 100 sections. Each of these is called a 'mark', and is approximately 15 minutes long, or 15.6 min per mark. Each mark is divided into 10 'moments' that are about 1 and a half minutes long. Anything shorter than this is referred to as heartbeats, and is not often used. The first mark begins at the point of midnight. This means that the 50th mark begins at noon. Marks do not vary in length with the seasons, however which mark is sunset or sunrise does change. 

The people here are accustomed to sleeping soon after sunset. They will sleep for around 15 marks (4 hours) and then have 3-8 marks (1-2 hours) of wakefulness, usually for domestic activities, quiet contemplation, or making progress on personal projects. This is followed by a further ~15 marks of sleep before the day begins. The time of day that one goes to sleep and wakes up at, as well as the duration of the mid-night hour, vary based on region, personal preference, and the season. It is common to wake with the sun at dawn. 

Workers will wash their faces before heading out to work. A small meal is held before noon, around the 40th-45th mark, followed by a break in the afternoon around the 55th-60th mark for a more substantial meal and either socialising or a nap, depending on the heat of the day. This is followed by more time working until the evening. Workers would then retreat to their homes to tend to their families and domestic affairs. 

The people here use a lunisolar calendar that is tied to the phases of the moons. Various efforts have been made to line up the solar sycles with the cycles of the moons, but the best one is currently the system that ties the [[sun]] with [[]] and splits the year into 20 months with 20 days each, with 4 11-day intercalary periods after every fifth month. This ensures that each week is 5 days long and months either start with a new moon or a full moon. If the year drifts too far, an extra day or week is added in the middle of the year to bring the start of the month in line with the lunar phases, or in line with the sun. A team of astromancers are employed by the Emperor to keep extensive charts of the movements of the celestial bodies and keep the complicated and aged calendars in line with them.

    Divide your realm into provinces or regions, each with its own governor or local officials responsible for day-to-day administration.
    This decentralized administration allows for regional autonomy while still being under the central government's oversight.
 Legal Codes:
    Develop a comprehensive legal system with well-defined laws and regulations.
    Legal codes can serve as a source of order, justice, and governance in your culture.

====Timekeeping====
The people of Shimeisuraiku divide the day into 100 sections. Each of these is called a 'mark', and is approximately 15 minutes long, or 15.6 min per mark. Each mark is divided into 10 'moments' that are about 1 and a half minutes long. Anything shorter than this is referred to as heartbeats, and is not often used. The first mark begins at the point of midnight. This means that the 50th mark begins at noon. Marks do not vary in length with the seasons, however at which mark sunset or sunrise occurs does change. 

The people here are accustomed to sleeping soon after sunset. They will sleep for around 15 marks (4 hours) and then have 3-8 marks (1-2 hours) of wakefulness, usually for domestic activities, quiet contemplation, or making progress on personal projects. This is followed by a further ~15 marks of sleep before the day begins. The time of day that one goes to sleep and wakes up at, as well as the duration of the mid-night hour, vary based on region, personal preference, and the season. It is common to wake with the sun at dawn. 

Workers will wash their faces before heading out to work. A small meal is held before noon, around the 40th-45th mark, followed by a break in the afternoon around the 55th-60th mark for a more substantial meal and either socialising or a nap, depending on the heat of the day. This is followed by more time working until the evening. Workers would then retreat to their homes to tend to their families and domestic affairs. 

The people here use a lunisolar calendar that is tied to the phases of the moons. Various efforts have been made to line up the solar cycles with the cycles of the moons, but the best one is currently the system that ties the [[sun]] with [[Celebri]] and splits the year into 20 months with 20 days each, with 4 11-day intercalary periods after every fifth month. This ensures that each week is 5 days long and months either start with a new moon or a full moon. If the year drifts too far, an extra day or week is added in the middle of the year to bring the start of the month in line with the lunar phases, or in line with the sun. A team of astromancers are employed by the Emperor to keep extensive charts of the movements of the celestial bodies and keep the complicated and aged calendars in line with them.

The Glacecoux culture were a culture of early Neolithic people who lived at the turn of the last glacial maximum. These Neanderthal humans, also known as the Glace de Chasseur culture, were hunter-gatherers who lived in small family groups of around 20-30 individuals. They practiced corded ware technology and relied on hunting mammoths, paraceratherium, and other Ice Age megafauna. They shared tales of entelodonts and cave bears to educate their children about the dangers of their environment.

__TOC__

The Chasseurs de Glace culture represents a resilient Neanderthal society that adapted to extreme environmental conditions during the last glacial maximum, relying on their hunting skills, storytelling traditions, and spiritual beliefs to survive.

==Environment==
    Montagnes de Glace: A location in the icy highlands where remnants of corded ware and tools were discovered, suggesting the presence of Gelid Chasseurs.
    Vallée des Os Fossiles: This valley earned its name due to the abundance of Ice Age animal fossils. Artifacts found nearby hint at the lifestyle of the Gelid Chasseurs who once roamed the area. A major encampment along the icebound river, where Chasseur families gathered for seasonal hunts.
    "The Ombre Caverns": A network of natural caves where they sought shelter from extreme cold and predators.

==Attitudes &amp; Beliefs==
    The Chasseurs believed in the spirits of nature, particularly those of ice and cold. They held ceremonies and rituals to appease these spirits.
    Storytelling was an essential part of their culture, and they shared tales of entelodonts and cave bears to instill caution and respect for the wilderness in their children.

 Social Hierarchy:
    Chasseur society operated in small family groups, typically consisting of 20-30 people led by the most experienced hunters.
    Leadership was based on merit and hunting prowess rather than hereditary status.
 Religion:
    Their religion focused on animism, where they believed that everything in nature had a spirit.
    Shamans played a vital role in communicating with these spirits, especially those associated with animals they hunted.

==Material Culture and Customs==
    Chasseur clothing was made from animal hides, offering warmth and protection from the elements.
    They crafted bone and stone tools, including harpoons for hunting large ice-age mammals.

==Subcultures and Countercultures==
    The "Cave Guardians" were individuals tasked with protecting their communal shelters from predators and rival groups.
    A counterculture known as the "Dreamwalkers" were mystics who claimed to communicate with the spirits through dreams.

== Plot ==
Blood Cursed Dynasty
    Character idea, troubled past. Prove himself.
    Sociopathic tendencies.
    Setting idea, 
    Story idea, mitochondrial DNA 
    Gaining magic and taking over the kingdom
    Explain magic system ideas
    The endings, child legacy, and line of emperors
    Society shifting to matriarchy


===Book one===
   Warlord
   Gains magic, conquers empire
   Dynasty is secured, my blood will rule for a thousand years


Book 1 - 
Main character
Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red. 'the Bloodforged'? His son could be 'the Bloodcursed'?

===Book two===
   Son and daughter
   Civil war, gaining magic ritual reformed
   Penny drop, daughters children all have power

===Book three===
   Daughter's daughter
   Ending the civil war, subterfuge side plot
   Social change matriarchy etc


=== Brainstorm ===
 Empire
 A or B plot? Politics - slowly gain allies, manipulative GoT level stuff. Magic powers for political legitimacy, enhance the whole chosen by heaven divine right to rule thing.
 Battles - defeat opponents into submission. maybe lose an engagement or two. Create campaign to play through?? Use magic powers to show off legitimacy and destroy rest of opposition 

 Ritual
 A or B plot? Idea - stealth stealing old books/scrolls, translating from some elvish. old temple? library? Would be prologue material, as it encapsulates the themes of mystery, high tension, arcane magics, politics, and maybe even dark themes of blood?
 Practice - experiments and research, really dive into unveiling the magic system here. Perhaps he tries something specific to target inheritance (to magically pass the power only onto his firstborn son) but he accidentally chooses the mitochondria. Maybe he says something specific like through this aspect of the ritual I can ensure that the power is only passed on to a worthy heir. "A worthy heir inherits by being the firstborn son." The book could include a line that translates to explaining heritability of mitochondrial DNA genes. He interprets this as the secret to determining who inherits. He accidentally makes it so that all children inherit but only females can pass it on themselves.
 Performing it - Set up for the ritual. Abducting many ppl needed. Finding people willing to participate as priests. Aftermath? Use powers on the battlefield. Final battle or before?

 Son
 C plot. Romance? Political marriage? Arc of the relationship? Would need to meet the girl early and then include throughout. Late game tension could be pregnancy, birth during a battle? If he was born during a battle then he could be marked for destiny - cursed by blood. Battleborn, Bloodcursed. Would have to have been conceived after the ritual, as he expected to have passed on that power to his firstborn son. 

 Theme:
 Action - fight scenes, battles, etc
 Politics - political maneuvering, interpersonal relationships manipulated to get the ritual to run
 Arcane Scholarship - experiments, research, magic theory explored. 


Achieves end goals: magic, kingship, and child.
Magic – prologue where he finds scrolls of how to use blood magic. Born with minor ability to use it? (yes, do not like idea of being able to give non-magic ppl powers. Perhaps could work through blood magic, so it’s possible for someone like Hoid to collect all the abilities. Must make this ruinously hard to do or everyone will be a mage.) Uses this ability to strengthen himself at the cost of many others? 
	Need 
King - 
Child – romance subplot? Marries for political reasons? Could tie back into the politics B plot. Secures something valuable for the match. Land? Army? Legitimacy? I like the army option best, so perhaps he marries the daughter of the best, most experienced general in the realm, so that way he brings the best chance for military victory to his side. Would explain the success he has in his endeavour. Also necessitates two new characters – General and his Daughter. 
	General would be experienced, and command a large following of soldiers. Is the country a feudal/republican, etc. Follow the example of ancient China. Insanely large armies due to large amount of rice farmers. Perhaps there is a core standing army of trained men-at-arms who are the elite fighting force. 

Build the culture. Follow various guides for this. 


==== Prologue ====
 Prologue:
 Themes of politics, action and arcane must be present. Stealing info from an old abandoned elven temple (maybe it's actually an elven library) and they ransack what is essentially a medical treatise on applications of blood magic's CRISPR tools. Translation, blood importance? Perhaps some elven guards are murdered callously? Very far from home. 

 Very far from home. sneaking through the forest to find the mythical tower of knowledge. turns out to just be an abandoned elf ruin. scouts report theyve noticed myaner guards, so its not fully abandoned. only three guards. (are actually caretakers/custodians/librarians of the ancient scrolls) we can take em. slits the throat of one himself, feels no remorse at all. is incapable of feeling remorse. Steals into the building, and begins to rifle through the books, strolls, and tablets. eventually finds a word he recognises (not on an entire category but on the spine of a book) that is the word for blood(?) (One way or another he needs to find a book in the medical/healing section that is relevant to using blood magic and using it to treat genetic diseases. (gene therapy textbook really), and he finds it useful). Sits down with a candle, getting blood on the wax, and sits to enjoy reading the book and tries translating it. prologue ends.
 this idea has violence, blood, set up for ritual, intro to arcane, elves, etc, but just needs to foreshadow politics more i think. how to write a political thriller/game??

Perhaps a date, to set the scene as to the time period? Starting in medias res.


CHAR stepped carefully, avoiding cracking any twigs or crunching any leaves. It was difficult to avoid, as the forest floor was littered with it. Luckily, his soft scouts' moccasins helped to muffle the sound of his footfalls. He noticed a hand gesture from one of his scouts to his side, and took cover behind a tree. The scout picked his way over to him through the underbrush, remarkably proficient at avoiding any rustling of branches. 

"My lord, we've spotted the site," he whispered. Drifting through the mist-wreathed trees, the haunting song of a false phoenix cried out. The bird was rare in NORTHLANDAREANAME. An omen of destiny, indeed. They both paused, the scout's eyes holding onto his own firmly. *The signs are clear. This day will be auspicious, whether to mark our deaths, or the start of a new era,* they seemed to say. CHAR nodded firmly at the scout. *Let us begin.*

The scout pulled out an ivory whistle and puffed on it, creating the sound of a kukatoo. Hopefully any guards would not be able to tell the difference between a real call and one falsified with a whistle. Hopefully they would not realise it was the signal. CHAR could not still the worry in his heart that they would be able to tell. They were, afterall, immortal guardians of the wilderness. They had probably heard every bird call in the forest more times than he had heard another man speak. He noticed his jaw clenched in tension, but could not make himself unclench it. The scout had started moving forward, crouching low to the ground, with his dagger in hand, but still within the green scabbard. They had worried the keen eyes of the Dinray scouts might notice the gleaming of metal, and would only unsheathe steel at the last moment. CHAR steadied himself and followed. He was glad for his training as a warrior, for he knew well how difficult it was to move crouched this low to the ground while keeping his balance steady, let alone silently on the leaf litter. 

After a few moments, he noticed the forest ahead seemed to grow lighter. The clearing. They had done it at last. The Reticent Archive.
A place spoken of only in legend. CHAR felt like he was living one of the tales his wetnurse would tell him when he was but six. Tales of elves and dragons and the mysteries of the deep forests. *Perhaps there were truths to some of those fairy tales, then*, he mused, pressing himself flat against a tree and peering through a thick bush to lay eyes upon the structure built within the clearing. The architecture was obviously not Shimei. His people favoured spires of stone, with tall pyramid-like of cone-like roofs, but these, while undeniably ruins, were majestic. Pillars intertwined to create arches, serried vertically amidst vines and broken stone. Statues flanked an entranceway, hooded figures holding huge books to their chests. This truly was the place. The incredible knowledge it must hold within! The secrets of the ancients, the answers to magic! His eyes wide, his heart beating, he realised he had started to push aside a branch and stepped forward into the clearing. 

There was a blur of motion and something large blurred directly before him, thudding down into the ground, trailing cloth. CHAR whipped out his dagger, darting back in a panic, realising how badly his moment of weakness has ruined *everything*. Now he was going to die, impaled on the spear of a vengeful Dinray, all because he forgot to be stealthy at the sight of a fairy tale castle come true. 

The form at his feet did not rise.

Cautiously, he looked up, and saw one of his scouts standing above the entranceway in what appeared to be a watchpost, wiping the blood off his dagger with a small cloth. CHAR kneeled to turn the body over, exposing a young face, ink black eyes, and skin that looked like it had vitiligo. The throat was slit, and warm blood poured out, covering CHAR's glove. He dropped the body back on the floor distastefully, and shook the blood off his hand, spraying the grass with droplets of red. He nodded his thanks to the scout, and dagger raised, entered the ruin. The hallway was dark, but his eyes quickly adjusted. He quickly found a room after a few turns that was lit with gentle torchlight that didn't flicker like flames. There were two figures here, one behind a desk copying a book, and the other, a scholar by the looks of the glass eyepieces he wore, who was at a table organising a pile of books and scrolls. The latter looked up as he entered, opening his mouth to greet him before pausing in utter surprise at seeing him and not a fellow Dinray. 

"Man keriig?" The Dinray scholar shouted angrily, pushing his chair back from the table and standing, then his eyes widened as CHAR rushed forward and slammed his palm against his forehead, tilting his head back to expose his throat. "Baw, gi cho-" His angry words turned to a strangled choke as CHAR's dagger swiped out. CHAR dropped him backwards, ignoring the gurgling noises of the dying Dinray on the floor, only caring to not get blood on the scrolls. The other Dinray had backed up against the wall, then slipped out of the room. A cry of pain a moment later confirmed that the scouts had ensured his end too. 

CHAR stalked the hall, walking down a hallway between shelves of books and scrolls, looking for a glyph he might recognise. He had spent numerous political favours and considerable wealth trying to acquire old elven writings and had spent countless hours attempting to learn them. For all his efforts, he was only able to recognise occasional words here and there. Old Forlaam was a difficult language to read. After some searching, he finally came across a tome which had a glyph he recognised on the leather spine. 

By the time the scouts entered the room, they found him there, bloody gloves removed and beside him on the table, dagger stabbed point first into the wood. A worn parchment that served as a dictionary of sorts held in one hand, the pointer finger of the other following Forlaam glyphs with the other. His eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory. His mind entirely focused on the puzzle ahead.

== Characters ==
 '''Char'''
 Idk name but Chinese noble 
 maybe he is the son of a female firstborn of an emperor, and thus is passed over for consideration and this infuriates him. Mum is upset too but he wants it for his case, not mums.
 also is sociopathic as he doesnt care about the value of a life, willing to sacrifice any number he considers lesser in order to further himself
 why does he want the power? it is his birthright - he was more worthy than the current emp (cousin)
 book 1 would thus be about the civil war he causes to try to usurp the throne to himself. Dance of the Dragons type ruination. Use ep 1 as the inspo for how to characterise properly!
 willing to experiment with peoples lives in exchange for granting himself power. 
 Would perhaps find evidence of a magic ritual he can perform to himself Black Panther powers perhaps from a myaner ruined library or even from something disconnected from the domain that still has info on it - needs to acquire the secrets to finding out how to manipulate blood magic ethyr
 Char struggles to make friendships. He was always a little socially awkward when young, and being a coddled mommy's boy (and a distant and potentially abusive father) meant that he struggled to build meaningful human connections. As he got older, his peers in the royal family would hang out more with each other but Char preferred to hide away in a study or library and learn about the mysterious vanished sicai of ancient times. 
 This self isolation only got worse as he reached his early adulthood as his cousins were thick as thieves but he was alone and with no friends save the books he read. However, friendship is important to the plot as in order to achieve what he wants most, he will have to learn how to get people on his side and support him in his claims, and the way he goes about creating friendships (or alliances) is a very mathematical equation where if he does something for someone, that generally builds him favour with them. Armed with this sociopathic knowledge, Char is ready to manipulate and charm his way to stealing the position of heir from his older and more popular cousin.

 '''Cousin'''
 Would need to be much more social, I'm thinking a golden boy kind of vibe. Perhaps a chinese prettyboy or something like Henry Golding in terms of soft-spoken but competent. Is a good choice for king but he has a cruel streak in terms of bullying those he sees as lesser, weak, and pathetic. This includes Char.


 Need to have his mum in as well

 Cousin who is the emperor

== Setting ==
The setting of the story will be in the Great Empire of Shimeisuraiku, the 'Empire of Heaven'. This is an empire inspired by China, but with considerable other influences. I want it to feature aspects of central/east African culture (look into cultures such as Maasai, Khoi-San, and Basotho people), as well as German, from medieval beer taverns to efficiency in engineering. Ethnic groups - varied means the empire is more impressive but much harder and unstable, whereas all the same means I cannot have diversity and is too close to China. Medieval German culture, in a setting that looks Chinese in architecture. Dress inspired by local textile availability and what the workers need, and food determined by what is available in the region. 

Will work on a map of the region. Will feature multiple river basins around which civilisation could have developed:

Start with the region only, blur out the preliminary rough heightmap to reflect a gradient from high to low. Use the pre-generated heightmap to help add realism. 
Use the overlay images from Wonderdraft (in a folder) and Patreon (saved on Reddit) to find textures for mountains, and use reference images to determine scale to help with this step. 
Also use real life topographic maps to help create the area. Copy mountain regions where they are the same age/etc, copy flat plains etc, and stitch together manually with blurring and cloning. 

Then put the area in Wilbur to create a topographical map. Hopefully with a couple passes over with Wilbur it will all look realistic. 

Can then work on a proper atlas style map following Artifexian's guide for an atlas map, and use this as the definitive guide for the geography of the story, as well as helping narrow down where to worldbuild, where to place story setting locations, and even creating battlefields for wargaming through encounters from the book to help the realism/dream of interact-ability of the story.</text>

== Plot ==
Blood Cursed Dynasty
    Character idea, troubled past. Prove himself.
    Sociopathic tendencies.
    Setting idea, 
    Story idea, mitochondrial DNA 
    Gaining magic and taking over the kingdom
    Explain magic system ideas
    The endings, child legacy, and line of emperors
    Society shifting to matriarchy


===Book one===
   Warlord
   Gains magic, conquers empire
   Dynasty is secured, my blood will rule for a thousand years


Book 1 - 
Main character
Red and gold aesthetic. Chinese vibes. Germanic influence too. Perhaps start with more gold and slowly go more red. Major aesthetic is gold gauntlets with blood over top that tints it red. 'the Bloodforged'? His son could be 'the Bloodcursed'?

===Book two===
   Son and daughter
   Civil war, gaining magic ritual reformed
   Penny drop, daughters children all have power

===Book three===
   Daughter's daughter
   Ending the civil war, subterfuge side plot
   Social change matriarchy etc


=== Brainstorm ===
 Empire
 A or B plot? Politics - slowly gain allies, manipulative GoT level stuff. Magic powers for political legitimacy, enhance the whole chosen by heaven divine right to rule thing.
 Battles - defeat opponents into submission. maybe lose an engagement or two. Create campaign to play through?? Use magic powers to show off legitimacy and destroy rest of opposition 

 Ritual
 A or B plot? Idea - stealth stealing old books/scrolls, translating from some elvish. old temple? library? Would be prologue material, as it encapsulates the themes of mystery, high tension, arcane magics, politics, and maybe even dark themes of blood?
 Practice - experiments and research, really dive into unveiling the magic system here. Perhaps he tries something specific to target inheritance (to magically pass the power only onto his firstborn son) but he accidentally chooses the mitochondria. Maybe he says something specific like through this aspect of the ritual I can ensure that the power is only passed on to a worthy heir. "A worthy heir inherits by being the firstborn son." The book could include a line that translates to explaining heritability of mitochondrial DNA genes. He interprets this as the secret to determining who inherits. He accidentally makes it so that all children inherit but only females can pass it on themselves.
 Performing it - Set up for the ritual. Abducting many ppl needed. Finding people willing to participate as priests. Aftermath? Use powers on the battlefield. Final battle or before?

 Son
 C plot. Romance? Political marriage? Arc of the relationship? Would need to meet the girl early and then include throughout. Late game tension could be pregnancy, birth during a battle? If he was born during a battle then he could be marked for destiny - cursed by blood. Battleborn, Bloodcursed. Would have to have been conceived after the ritual, as he expected to have passed on that power to his firstborn son. 

 Theme:
 Action - fight scenes, battles, etc
 Politics - political maneuvering, interpersonal relationships manipulated to get the ritual to run
 Arcane Scholarship - experiments, research, magic theory explored. 


Achieves end goals: magic, kingship, and child.
Magic – prologue where he finds scrolls of how to use blood magic. Born with minor ability to use it? (yes, do not like idea of being able to give non-magic ppl powers. Perhaps could work through blood magic, so it’s possible for someone like Hoid to collect all the abilities. Must make this ruinously hard to do or everyone will be a mage.) Uses this ability to strengthen himself at the cost of many others? 
	Need 
King - 
Child – romance subplot? Marries for political reasons? Could tie back into the politics B plot. Secures something valuable for the match. Land? Army? Legitimacy? I like the army option best, so perhaps he marries the daughter of the best, most experienced general in the realm, so that way he brings the best chance for military victory to his side. Would explain the success he has in his endeavour. Also necessitates two new characters – General and his Daughter. 
	General would be experienced, and command a large following of soldiers. Is the country a feudal/republican, etc. Follow the example of ancient China. Insanely large armies due to large amount of rice farmers. Perhaps there is a core standing army of trained men-at-arms who are the elite fighting force. 

Build the culture. Follow various guides for this. 


==== Prologue ====
 Prologue:
 Themes of politics, action and arcane must be present. Stealing info from an old abandoned elven temple (maybe it's actually an elven library) and they ransack what is essentially a medical treatise on applications of blood magic's CRISPR tools. Translation, blood importance? Perhaps some elven guards are murdered callously? Very far from home. 

 Very far from home. sneaking through the forest to find the mythical tower of knowledge. turns out to just be an abandoned elf ruin. scouts report theyve noticed myaner guards, so its not fully abandoned. only three guards. (are actually caretakers/custodians/librarians of the ancient scrolls) we can take em. slits the throat of one himself, feels no remorse at all. is incapable of feeling remorse. Steals into the building, and begins to rifle through the books, strolls, and tablets. eventually finds a word he recognises (not on an entire category but on the spine of a book) that is the word for blood(?) (One way or another he needs to find a book in the medical/healing section that is relevant to using blood magic and using it to treat genetic diseases. (gene therapy textbook really), and he finds it useful). Sits down with a candle, getting blood on the wax, and sits to enjoy reading the book and tries translating it. prologue ends.
 this idea has violence, blood, set up for ritual, intro to arcane, elves, etc, but just needs to foreshadow politics more i think. how to write a political thriller/game??

Perhaps a date, to set the scene as to the time period? Starting in medias res.


CHAR stepped carefully, avoiding cracking any twigs or crunching any leaves. It was difficult to avoid, as the forest floor was littered with it. Luckily, his soft scouts' moccasins helped to muffle the sound of his footfalls. He noticed a hand gesture from one of his scouts to his side, and took cover behind a tree. The scout picked his way over to him through the underbrush, remarkably proficient at avoiding any rustling of branches. 

"My lord, we've spotted the site," he whispered. Drifting through the mist-wreathed trees, the haunting song of a false phoenix cried out. The bird was rare in NORTHLANDAREANAME. An omen of destiny, indeed. They both paused, the scout's eyes holding onto his own firmly. *The signs are clear. This day will be auspicious, whether to mark our deaths, or the start of a new era,* they seemed to say. CHAR nodded firmly at the scout. *Let us begin.*

The scout pulled out an ivory whistle and puffed on it, creating the sound of a kukatoo. Hopefully any guards would not be able to tell the difference between a real call and one falsified with a whistle. Hopefully they would not realise it was the signal. CHAR could not still the worry in his heart that they would be able to tell. They were, afterall, immortal guardians of the wilderness. They had probably heard every bird call in the forest more times than he had heard another man speak. He noticed his jaw clenched in tension, but could not make himself unclench it. The scout had started moving forward, crouching low to the ground, with his dagger in hand, but still within the green scabbard. They had worried the keen eyes of the Dinray scouts might notice the gleaming of metal, and would only unsheathe steel at the last moment. CHAR steadied himself and followed. He was glad for his training as a warrior, for he knew well how difficult it was to move crouched this low to the ground while keeping his balance steady, let alone silently on the leaf litter. 

After a few moments, he noticed the forest ahead seemed to grow lighter. The clearing. They had done it at last. The Reticent Archive.
A place spoken of only in legend. CHAR felt like he was living one of the tales his wetnurse would tell him when he was but six. Tales of elves and dragons and the mysteries of the deep forests. *Perhaps there were truths to some of those fairy tales, then*, he mused, pressing himself flat against a tree and peering through a thick bush to lay eyes upon the structure built within the clearing. The architecture was obviously not Shimei. His people favoured spires of stone, with tall pyramid-like of cone-like roofs, but these, while undeniably ruins, were majestic. Pillars intertwined to create arches, serried vertically amidst vines and broken stone. Statues flanked an entranceway, hooded figures holding huge books to their chests. This truly was the place. The incredible knowledge it must hold within! The secrets of the ancients, the answers to magic! His eyes wide, his heart beating, he realised he had started to push aside a branch and stepped forward into the clearing. 

There was a blur of motion and something large blurred directly before him, thudding down into the ground, trailing cloth. CHAR whipped out his dagger, darting back in a panic, realising how badly his moment of weakness has ruined *everything*. Now he was going to die, impaled on the spear of a vengeful Dinray, all because he forgot to be stealthy at the sight of a fairy tale castle come true. 

The form at his feet did not rise.

Cautiously, he looked up, and saw one of his scouts standing above the entranceway in what appeared to be a watchpost, wiping the blood off his dagger with a small cloth. CHAR kneeled to turn the body over, exposing a young face, ink black eyes, and skin that looked like it had vitiligo. The throat was slit, and warm blood poured out, covering CHAR's glove. He dropped the body back on the floor distastefully, and shook the blood off his hand, spraying the grass with droplets of red. He nodded his thanks to the scout, and dagger raised, entered the ruin. The hallway was dark, but his eyes quickly adjusted. He quickly found a room after a few turns that was lit with gentle torchlight that didn't flicker like flames. There were two figures here, one behind a desk copying a book, and the other, a scholar by the looks of the glass eyepieces he wore, who was at a table organising a pile of books and scrolls. The latter looked up as he entered, opening his mouth to greet him before pausing in utter surprise at seeing him and not a fellow Dinray. 

"Man keriig?" The Dinray scholar shouted angrily, pushing his chair back from the table and standing, then his eyes widened as CHAR rushed forward and slammed his palm against his forehead, tilting his head back to expose his throat. "Baw, gi cho-" His angry words turned to a strangled choke as CHAR's dagger swiped out. CHAR dropped him backwards, ignoring the gurgling noises of the dying Dinray on the floor, only caring to not get blood on the scrolls. The other Dinray had backed up against the wall, then slipped out of the room. A cry of pain a moment later confirmed that the scouts had ensured his end too. 

CHAR stalked the hall, walking down a hallway between shelves of books and scrolls, looking for a glyph he might recognise. He had spent numerous political favours and considerable wealth trying to acquire old elven writings and had spent countless hours attempting to learn them. For all his efforts, he was only able to recognise occasional words here and there. Old Forlaam was a difficult language to read. After some searching, he finally came across a tome which had a glyph he recognised on the leather spine. 

By the time the scouts entered the room, they found him there, bloody gloves removed and beside him on the table, dagger stabbed point first into the wood. A worn parchment that served as a dictionary of sorts held in one hand, the pointer finger of the other following Forlaam glyphs with the other. His eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory. His mind entirely focused on the puzzle ahead.

== Characters ==
 '''Char'''
 Idk name but Chinese noble 
 maybe he is the son of a female firstborn of an emperor, and thus is passed over for consideration and this infuriates him. Mum is upset too but he wants it for his case, not mums.
 also is sociopathic as he doesnt care about the value of a life, willing to sacrifice any number he considers lesser in order to further himself
 why does he want the power? it is his birthright - he was more worthy than the current emp (cousin)
 book 1 would thus be about the civil war he causes to try to usurp the throne to himself. Dance of the Dragons type ruination. Use ep 1 as the inspo for how to characterise properly!
 willing to experiment with peoples lives in exchange for granting himself power. 
 Would perhaps find evidence of a magic ritual he can perform to himself Black Panther powers perhaps from a myaner ruined library or even from something disconnected from the domain that still has info on it - needs to acquire the secrets to finding out how to manipulate blood magic ethyr
 Char struggles to make friendships. He was always a little socially awkward when young, and being a coddled mommy's boy (and a distant and potentially abusive father) meant that he struggled to build meaningful human connections. As he got older, his peers in the royal family would hang out more with each other but Char preferred to hide away in a study or library and learn about the mysterious vanished sicai of ancient times. 
 This self isolation only got worse as he reached his early adulthood as his cousins were thick as thieves but he was alone and with no friends save the books he read. However, friendship is important to the plot as in order to achieve what he wants most, he will have to learn how to get people on his side and support him in his claims, and the way he goes about creating friendships (or alliances) is a very mathematical equation where if he does something for someone, that generally builds him favour with them. Armed with this sociopathic knowledge, Char is ready to manipulate and charm his way to stealing the position of heir from his older and more popular cousin.

 '''Cousin'''
 Would need to be much more social, I'm thinking a golden boy kind of vibe. Perhaps a chinese prettyboy or something like Henry Golding in terms of soft-spoken but competent. Is a good choice for king but he has a cruel streak in terms of bullying those he sees as lesser, weak, and pathetic. This includes Char.


 Need to have his mum in as well

    <text bytes="6887" xml:space="preserve">'''Magesight''' is the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. This does not happen with the eyes but rather a sixth sense that can detect ethyr in its vicinity. This is usually rendered by the brain as a visual input, as vision is the primary sense for most sapient races.

__TOC__

== Function ==
Magesight seems like an important sense and as such it was unknown for a long time why it was not selected for, as even if ethyr was too dangerous to use, it would be useful for species to be able to see it. However, this is mistaken for two reasons. Firstly, seeing ethyr is not as simple as using your eyes or special rods or cones to detect it. Ethyr at rest does not have colour as it is not a physical substance, and there is nothing to see. 

People with magesight share certain genetic markers in common with people who can use magic, including the turning off of ethyr-suppressor genes. This implies that the ability to see ethyr is not so much sight, but rather a new sense that is part and parcel of the ability to use magic. This is the second reason, as visualising ethyr is itself a magical ability.

== Colours ==
All flavours of ethyr are visible as distinct colours to those with magesight. The colours can be seen as a transparent haze around the source of the ethyr, and often flow around like a mist under ethereal winds that are separate from physical winds, as the ethyr clouds do not move even when a strong gust of wind is blowing in the region.

=== Light-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of [[Light-Ethyr|light-ethyr]] are generally associated with the rainbow due to the colours that the constituent flavours of ethyr take when viewed with magesight. This has caused some cultures to associate the rainbow with magic due the the great prevalence of light-ethyr compared to the other three types.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of wyrd-ethyr are not as strongly associated with colours as light-ethyr. Nevertheless, vague correspondences have been drawn to the colours below for each flavour. However despite this, some cases of wyrd ethyr being released coincide with either photons releasing and thus causing coloured glows visible to individuals without magesight, such as the phenomenon of Cherenkov radiation. There are also circumstances where making use of wyrd-flavour wyrd-ethyr can result in a neon green glow. As such, the colour traditionally applied to this flavour is turquoise, a mix of the electric blue and neon green colours that are most commonly seen.

The other flavours of wyrd-ethyr often have more vague colouration. For example, although death-flavour is traditionally depicted as black and vacuum-flavour as lilac, in actuality these are not the actual colours seen. People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to an amethyst haze or even a black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

=== Gravity-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

|}

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

People have claimed to see death as anything from a brilliantly glowing red (possibly mistaken for chemistry-flavour light-ethyr as blood reacts with oxygen), to an amethyst haze or even a black smoke, and correspondingly void-flavour has been reported as black, dark blue or indigo, or as a faint lilac glow.

=== Gravity-Ethyr Colours ===
The varieties of gravity-ethyr are also not usually standard colours, as this source of ethyr is the opposite of the source that produces light, and thus the opposite of colour. Nevertheless, the different flavours' magesight hazes can be perceived by the colours indicated below.

=== Creation-Ethyr Colours ===
There are four known varieties of creation-ethyr, and each flavour's perceived colour has an association with what the ethyr most willingly does. Mass-flavour ethyr manipulates the gluons that form the particles in an atom's nucleus and as a result of the gluons' own chromodynamics this often comes through as all the colours mixed, forming a light grey colour. Creation-flavour ethyr is usually visualised as a lime colour in contrast to the usually vermillion destruction-flavour ethyr which evokes the colours of fire.

 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr as a category of ethyrs ultimately comes from the mixture of the little understood primal forces of elektricity and magnetism. The prevalent current theory is that these two forces are but two sides of the same coin, and are in fact a spectrum. As such, the various flavours of ethyrs within the wider category of light-ethyr can be split into the extremes of the spectrum, and then the ones that fall somewhere along the middle, mixing the two together. 

One side of the spectrum is called poliferous ethyr, also known as the magnetic flavour. Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. However, the distribution of where it flows the strongest are the opposite - where solar (or light) ethyr is steadiest at the equator and very weak at the poles, magnetic ethyr is almost non-existant at the equator but increases dramatically in strength as one approaches the poles. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

The chemical category of ethyr flavours are by far the most diverse, as they play a part in so much of the world around us. From various alchemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes many flavours of ethyrs. The most prevalent source of ethyr is luminiferous ethyr, or simply light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of luminiferous ethyr flowing down from the sun during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it has been theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that luminiferous ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight. 

Alchemical flavour ethyr can be sourced from particular alchemical reactions that tend to either absorb heat or energy. These reactions include heating substances until they change states such as ice melting or water evaporating, as well as reactions like plants photosynthesising or animal's bodies storing energy from their food. The ethyr that is released from these alchemical reactions usually has far fewer applications as it can only be used for purposes closely linked to the method that created it. 

ATP synthesis is endothermic and ATP hydrolysis into ADP + P is exergonic, releasing energy. When casting spells, the body will consume stores of ATP, breaking it down in order to gain energy. Perhaps this is a byproduct of ethyr being present and catalysing the conversion of ATP to ADP? This is the real reason why ethyr is so dangerous as its presence tends to strip you of your ATP stores, and it takes skill and practice to be able to direct ethyr more quickly/efficiently in order to avoid it suffusing the entire body and thus limiting the amount of ATP it burns away. 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose. 
 is usually used to manipulate how magnetic fields flow, as well as being able to push and pull on ferromagnetic items ... push pull. pure magnetism
 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 This division includes fire which is an exothermic redox reaction called combustion. RETHINK THIS!!!

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Growth 
 Healing, Plants, photosynthesis, growth.

Electric 
 Electricity? Electricity releases magic which can be used to redirect electricity for wireless power etc. Used in metal manufacture eg for aluminium and titanium. pure electricity

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

==== Blood ====
Blood magic is the common name given to the art of changing the body of a target. Blood magic cannot be done through quick spells but rather must be enacted through slow rituals much like physical therapy that mould the body to the deisred outcome over time. As the cost of blood magic is so high, it has not been explored much by ethical experimentors, and the majority of known knowledge about this branch of magic comes from the recovered diaries of individuals who have dabbled in this darker side of the ethyric arts, such as [[Char]]. 

The first instance of blood magic being discovered would likely have been from someone noticing that when a person died in a cave with a fire burning (through CO poisoning), their blood glowed faintly with red ethyr. An alternative is that perhaps a bowl of blood from a sacrifice was left next to a fire and someone with [[magesight]] noticed it started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it. 

Blood ethyr can be used for manipulating genes. The degree to which it can be applied and used depends on the practitioner's understanding of genetics and biology. In the ancient era, it was used in rare cases to attempt to heal certain genetic conditions. These early experimentations led to the arising of myths of vampires who must feed on blood in order to achieve immortal life. In the middle ages, warlords like Char began to use accumulated [[myaner]] knowledge of blood-ethyr in a medical context and began to innovate upon it further. This led to the civil wars detailed in the [[Blood-Cursed Dynasty]], approximately 350 years before the present. 

Scholars theorise that based on how the Old Ones used blood magic to form races like the Shamlek and Itzatecah from base creatures, it would be possible to do far more with this type of ethyr, and are searching for better ways to perform more research into it that does not call for the wholesale slaughter of thousands, as was done in the past. Such theories range from the ability to grant an individual access to specific ethyrs they could not before, increasing one's strength, augmenting a soldier to be the ultimate weapon, or even to create new living beings. Such lofty goals are nevertheless, very far away as the nature behind the ethyr is not even close to being fully understood.

=== Fire ===
 firebending

 Battlefield:
 Fire Projectiles: Users of fire-ethyr can create fiery projectiles or fireballs, launching them at enemies from a distance. This could be used for long-range attacks or to ignite enemy siege weapons. (fireball, piercing bolts of burning)
 Flame Blades: In close combat, a practitioner could enchant their weapons with fire-ethyr, turning ordinary swords or arrows into fiery instruments of destruction. (flaming sword of rhuin)
 Scorching Defence: Fire-ethyr can be used defensively by creating walls of flames or fiery shields to block enemy projectiles and deter close assaults. (cascading fire cloak)
 Blazing Traps: Skilled users can set traps by enchanting the ground or objects with fire-ethyr. When triggered, these traps erupt into flames, catching foes off guard. (burning head -esque)
 Incendiary Smoke: Fire-ethyr can be harnessed to produce thick, choking smoke clouds, obscuring the battlefield and making it difficult for archers and artillery to target accurately. (flame storm -esque)

 Sieges:
 Burning Projectiles: During sieges, fire-ethyr practitioners can launch flaming projectiles at enemy fortifications, attempting to set wooden structures ablaze or create chaos within the walls.
 Flaming Oil: Fire-ethyr can be used to ignite barrels of oil or tar, turning them into deadly fire bombs that can be hurled onto besieging forces or down from the walls.
 Incendiary Arrows: Archers with fire-ethyr abilities can use incendiary arrows to set enemy siege engines or defensive structures on fire, causing chaos among the attackers.
 Burning Moats: In cases where a besieged city has a moat, fire-ethyr can be employed to set the moat's water on fire, creating a fiery barrier to deter attackers.

 Daily Life:
 Heating and Cooking: Fire-ethyr practitioners can easily light and maintain fires for cooking and heating. This is particularly valuable during cold winters or in regions with limited access to fuel.
 Forge Enchantment: Blacksmiths who possess fire-ethyr skills can create superior metalwork by heating and shaping metals with exceptional precision. Perhaps controlling heat directly could be a very useful aspect. Reaching certain heal thresholds enables the manufacture of so many metals. 
 Pyrotechnics: Fire-ethyr can be used to create dazzling pyrotechnic displays for celebrations and festivals, adding an element of magic to public events.
 Emergency Lighting: In times of darkness, fire-ethyr practitioners can create portable sources of light, such as torches or lanterns, without the need for conventional fuel sources.
 Street Lighting: Fire-ethyr practitioners could be responsible for lighting the streets of cities and towns at night, enhancing safety and visibility for residents and travellers.
 Culinary Arts: Chefs skilled in using fire-ethyr could create unique and delectable dishes by carefully controlling the intensity and precision of their cooking flames, leading to a vibrant culinary culture.
 Heated Baths: Public baths or private residences could employ fire-ethyr to maintain heated water for bathing, offering comfort and relaxation year-round.
 Textile Work: Fabric dyers and textile artisans might utilize fire-ethyr to create intricate patterns and vibrant colours on clothing and textiles, making their products highly sought after.
 Artistic Expression: Artists may incorporate controlled fire-ethyr flames into their artwork, producing mesmerizing and dynamic visual displays that captivate audiences.
 Fireplace Enchantment: Fireplaces in homes and gathering places could be enchanted with fire-ethyr to produce aesthetically pleasing, smokeless flames, enhancing the ambiance and warmth of the environment.
 Street Performances: Fire-ethyr practitioners might showcase their talents in public squares, entertaining crowds with dazzling fire shows and performances that draw both locals and tourists.

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.) Also is the reason why doing exercise releases small amounts of ethyr, and one of the parts of the Calvin cycle that releases ethyr, as well as the formation of glucose.

 Chemical is electromagnetic, since chemical reactions are all about negatively charged electrons and positively charged atomic nuclei interacting. // released through endothermic reactions? Can be used to make exothermic reactions happen spontaneously without catalysts (as it is the catalyst). 
 Endothermic reactions release magic, so can be exploited by alchemists. Can use it to cause reactions to occur, like catalysing things. Might help with crafting or smelting etc. Create vacuums? Water freezing releases magic.

 Endothermic reactions include photosynthesis (growth/healing magic), cooking food, ice&gt;water&gt;steam, salt dissolving, cold packs. All of these would release chemical-flavour light-ethyr.

Electromagnetic Radiation 
Electromagnetic radiant energy is carried through EM field waves, and is commonly referred to as light. These waves of radiant energy cause similar waves in the ethyric field as the photons comprising the wave interact with it. This causes light-ethyr to manifest. Also known as luminiferous aether, this variety of ethyr is unfiltered magical energy, unlike the other flavours which generally arise from more complex interactions between EM and the ethryic field and as such carry limitations to what the ethyr can do. 

Solar-flavour ethyr thus is able to be used for the widest range of applications out of all types of ethyr, even functioning within other fields of ethyr usage such as the 'key' spells used to release [[wyrd-ether]] from [[wyrdstone]] ores. However, this does not make solar-flavour ethyr better at performing those roles, as the more filtered forms of ethyr are more specialised and can accomplish more with the same quantity of ethyr, or perform it easier or faster than using solar ethyr to do so.

==== Blood ====
Blood magic is the common name given to the art of changing the body of a target. Blood magic cannot be done through quick spells but rather must be enacted through slow rituals much like physical therapy that mould the body to the deisred outcome over time. As the cost of blood magic is so high, it has not been explored much by ethical experimentors, and the majority of known knowledge about this branch of magic comes from the recovered diaries of individuals who have dabbled in this darker side of the ethyric arts, such as [[Char]]. 

The first instance of blood magic being discovered would likely have been from someone noticing that when a person died in a cave with a fire burning (through CO poisoning), their blood glowed faintly with red ethyr. An alternative is that perhaps a bowl of blood from a sacrifice was left next to a fire and someone with [[magesight]] noticed it started glowing as the CO in the smoke bonded with it. 

Blood ethyr can be used for manipulating genes. The degree to which it can be applied and used depends on the practitioner's understanding of genetics and biology. In the ancient era, it was used in rare cases to attempt to heal certain genetic conditions. These early experimentations led to the arising of myths of vampires who must feed on blood in order to achieve immortal life. In the middle ages, warlords like Char began to use accumulated [[myaner]] knowledge of blood-ethyr in a medical context and began to innovate upon it further. This led to the civil wars detailed in the [[Blood-Cursed Dynasty]], approximately 350 years before the present. 

Scholars theorise that based on how the Old Ones used blood magic to form races like the Shamlek and Itzatecah from base creatures, it would be possible to do far more with this type of ethyr, and are searching for better ways to perform more research into it that does not call for the wholesale slaughter of thousands, as was done in the past. Such theories range from the ability to grant an individual access to specific ethyrs they could not before, increasing one's strength, augmenting a soldier to be the ultimate weapon, or even to create new living beings. Such lofty goals are nevertheless, very far away as the nature behind the ethyr is not even close to being fully understood.

 Battlefield:
 Fire Projectiles: Users of fire-ethyr can create fiery projectiles or fireballs, launching them at enemies from a distance. This could be used for long-range attacks or to ignite enemy siege weapons. (fireball, piercing bolts of burning)
 Flame Blades: In close combat, a practitioner could enchant their weapons with fire-ethyr, turning ordinary swords or arrows into fiery instruments of destruction. (flaming sword of rhuin)
 Scorching Defence: Fire-ethyr can be used defensively by creating walls of flames or fiery shields to block enemy projectiles and deter close assaults. (cascading fire cloak)
 Blazing Traps: Skilled users can set traps by enchanting the ground or objects with fire-ethyr. When triggered, these traps erupt into flames, catching foes off guard. (burning head -esque)
 Incendiary Smoke: Fire-ethyr can be harnessed to produce thick, choking smoke clouds, obscuring the battlefield and making it difficult for archers and artillery to target accurately. (flame storm -esque)

 Sieges:
 Burning Projectiles: During sieges, fire-ethyr practitioners can launch flaming projectiles at enemy fortifications, attempting to set wooden structures ablaze or create chaos within the walls.
 Flaming Oil: Fire-ethyr can be used to ignite barrels of oil or tar, turning them into deadly fire bombs that can be hurled onto besieging forces or down from the walls.
 Incendiary Arrows: Archers with fire-ethyr abilities can use incendiary arrows to set enemy siege engines or defensive structures on fire, causing chaos among the attackers.
 Burning Moats: In cases where a besieged city has a moat, fire-ethyr can be employed to set the moat's water on fire, creating a fiery barrier to deter attackers.

 Daily Life:
 Heating and Cooking: Fire-ethyr practitioners can easily light and maintain fires for cooking and heating. This is particularly valuable during cold winters or in regions with limited access to fuel.
 Forge Enchantment: Blacksmiths who possess fire-ethyr skills can create superior metalwork by heating and shaping metals with exceptional precision. Perhaps controlling heat directly could be a very useful aspect. Reaching certain heal thresholds enables the manufacture of so many metals. 
 Pyrotechnics: Fire-ethyr can be used to create dazzling pyrotechnic displays for celebrations and festivals, adding an element of magic to public events.
 Emergency Lighting: In times of darkness, fire-ethyr practitioners can create portable sources of light, such as torches or lanterns, without the need for conventional fuel sources.
 Street Lighting: Fire-ethyr practitioners could be responsible for lighting the streets of cities and towns at night, enhancing safety and visibility for residents and travellers.
 Culinary Arts: Chefs skilled in using fire-ethyr could create unique and delectable dishes by carefully controlling the intensity and precision of their cooking flames, leading to a vibrant culinary culture.
 Heated Baths: Public baths or private residences could employ fire-ethyr to maintain heated water for bathing, offering comfort and relaxation year-round.
 Textile Work: Fabric dyers and textile artisans might utilize fire-ethyr to create intricate patterns and vibrant colours on clothing and textiles, making their products highly sought after.
 Artistic Expression: Artists may incorporate controlled fire-ethyr flames into their artwork, producing mesmerizing and dynamic visual displays that captivate audiences.
 Fireplace Enchantment: Fireplaces in homes and gathering places could be enchanted with fire-ethyr to produce aesthetically pleasing, smokeless flames, enhancing the ambiance and warmth of the environment.
 Street Performances: Fire-ethyr practitioners might showcase their talents in public squares, entertaining crowds with dazzling fire shows and performances that draw both locals and tourists.

 Light Manipulation: Solar ethyr users can bend, refract, and manipulate light to create illusions, holograms, and mirages. This ability to control the path of light can also be used for stealth by bending light around objects to create invisibility shields.
 Heat Generation: Solar ethyr can be harnessed to generate intense heat, which can be used for various purposes such as melting metals, welding, or providing warmth in cold environments.
 Blinding Flashes: Mages can release bursts of blinding light, similar to flashbang grenades, to disorient opponents or illuminate dark areas.
 Shadow Manipulation: Solar ethyr users may have the ability to manipulate shadows, making them deeper, darker, or even solid. This can be used for stealth, creating barriers, or disorienting foes.
 Solar Shields: Advanced solar ethyr practitioners can create protective shields that absorb or reflect harmful solar radiation, providing protection against extreme heat or harmful UV rays.
 Solar Healing: In some cultures, solar ethyr may be used for healing purposes, harnessing the regenerative properties of sunlight to accelerate the body's natural healing processes.
 Energy Conversion: Mages with expertise in solar ethyr could convert solar energy into other forms, such as electrical energy, which can be used to power devices or provide electricity in areas with limited resources.
 Communication: Solar ethyr can be utilized for long-range communication by harnessing specific wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing for messages to be transmitted via light signals.
 Environmental Control: Solar ethyr may enable control over environmental factors such as manipulating temperature, humidity, or even creating artificial rain or fog for various purposes.

    <text bytes="16125" xml:space="preserve">According to [[Ethyric Theory]], ethyr that derives from fluctuations in the [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field's]] interactions with electromagnetic fields are collectively known as '''light-ethyrs'''. Not all electromagnetic interactions perturb the ethyric field, and the ones that do all do so differently. Of these, there exist a few key subdivisions for ease of categorisation for people.

 how does light-ethyr enter the universe

== Flavours ==
Light-ethyr as a category of ethyrs ultimately comes from the mixture of the little understood primal forces of elektricity and magnetism. The prevalent current theory is that these two forces are but two sides of the same coin, and are in fact a spectrum. As such, the various flavours of ethyrs within the wider category of light-ethyr can be split into the extremes of the spectrum, and then the ones that fall somewhere along the middle, mixing the two together. 

One side of the spectrum is called poliferous ethyr, also known as the magnetic flavour. Magnetic flavour ethyr can be found rising out of the ground in waves much like solar ethyr flows down from above during the day. However, the distribution of where it flows the strongest are the opposite - where solar (or light) ethyr is steadiest at the equator and very weak at the poles, magnetic ethyr is almost non-existent at the equator but increases dramatically in strength as one approaches the poles. Additional sources for this ethyr include magnetic objects, such as magnetite lodestones, as well as physically preventing two magnetically attracted objects from accelerating to each other. 

The chemical category of ethyr flavours are by far the most diverse, as they play a part in so much of the world around us. From various alchemical reactions to light itself, this broad category includes many flavours of ethyrs. The most prevalent source of ethyr is luminiferous ethyr, or simply light ethyr. This flavour is found as a constant stream of luminiferous ethyr flowing down from the sun during the daytime. This ethyr cannot travel through objects, and it has been theorised that the ethyr is only usable once the sunlight has impacted a surface. The result of this is that luminiferous ethyr cannot be used at night and it is found only in small amounts when indoors or otherwise blocked from accessing sunlight. 

Alchemical flavour ethyr can be sourced from particular alchemical reactions that tend to either absorb heat or energy. These reactions include heating substances until they change states such as ice melting or water evaporating, as well as reactions like plants photosynthesising or animal's bodies storing energy from their food. The ethyr that is released from these alchemical reactions usually has far fewer applications as it can only be used for purposes closely linked to the method that created it. 

ATP synthesis is endothermic and ATP hydrolysis into ADP + P is exergonic, releasing energy. When casting spells, the body will consume stores of ATP, breaking it down in order to gain energy. Perhaps this is a byproduct of ethyr being present and catalysing the conversion of ATP to ADP? This is the real reason why ethyr is so dangerous as its presence tends to strip you of your ATP stores, and it takes skill and practice to be able to direct ethyr more quickly/efficiently in order to avoid it suffusing the entire body and thus limiting the amount of ATP it burns away. 

 ATP -&gt; ADP + P is exergonic (releasing energy) and must release ethyr too, as it is used by the body when fuelling your spells. (Can cause you to destroy all your ATP and thus kill yourself.)

    Dual Hierarchy: You can maintain the Chinese-inspired hierarchical bureaucratic system as the primary form of governance and administration within your culture. This system could be centralized, reflecting the Chinese influence.
    Regional Autonomy: Incorporate elements of the Germanic feudal system at a regional or local level. This means that while the central government follows a bureaucratic hierarchy, individual regions or territories within your culture may have their own feudal systems.
    Hybrid Nobility: The noble class in your culture could be a blend of Chinese-style officials and Germanic-style knights. This hybrid nobility could serve both administrative and military roles.
    Feudal Estates: While the central government follows a bureaucratic structure, regions or provinces could have their own feudal lords or estates responsible for local governance, similar to the Holy Roman Empire's feudal territories.
    Trade and Economy: Highlight the importance of guilds and trade networks within your culture. These could exist alongside the bureaucratic system, emphasizing economic activity and craftsmanship.
    Cultural Synthesis: Encourage cultural synthesis between the Chinese and Germanic elements. For example, traditional clothing might incorporate elements from both cultures, and festivals could blend customs and traditions from each background.
    Tension and Interaction: Explore the tension and interaction between the two systems. This could lead to interesting dynamics, such as clashes between the central bureaucracy and regional feudal lords.

 Centralized Government:
    Maintain a strong central government with a ruler or ruling body at the top.
    Emphasize the authority and power of this central governing entity, similar to the Chinese hierarchical system.
 Provincial and Local Administration:
    Divide your realm into provinces or regions, each with its own governor or local officials responsible for day-to-day administration.
    This decentralized administration allows for regional autonomy while still being under the central government's oversight.
 Legal Codes:
    Develop a comprehensive legal system with well-defined laws and regulations.
    Legal codes can serve as a source of order, justice, and governance in your culture.

====Timekeeping====
The people of Shimeisuraiku divide the day into 100 sections. Each of these is called a 'mark', and is approximately 15 minutes long, or 15.6 min per mark. Each mark is divided into 10 'moments' that are about 1 and a half minutes long. Anything shorter than this is referred to as heartbeats, and is not often used. The first mark begins at the point of midnight. This means that the 50th mark begins at noon. Marks do not vary in length with the seasons, however at which mark sunset or sunrise occurs does change. 

The people here are accustomed to sleeping soon after sunset. They will sleep for around 15 marks (4 hours) and then have 3-8 marks (1-2 hours) of wakefulness, usually for domestic activities, quiet contemplation, or making progress on personal projects. This is followed by a further ~15 marks of sleep before the day begins. The time of day that one goes to sleep and wakes up at, as well as the duration of the mid-night hour, vary based on region, personal preference, and the season. It is common to wake with the sun at dawn. 

Workers will wash their faces before heading out to work. A small meal is held before noon, around the 40th-45th mark, followed by a break in the afternoon around the 55th-60th mark for a more substantial meal and either socialising or a nap, depending on the heat of the day. This is followed by more time working until the evening. Workers would then retreat to their homes to tend to their families and domestic affairs. 

The people here use a lunisolar calendar that is tied to the phases of the moons. Various efforts have been made to line up the solar cycles with the cycles of the moons, but the best one is currently the system that ties the [[sun]] with [[Celebri]] and splits the year into 20 months with 20 days each, with 4 11-day intercalary periods after every fifth month. This ensures that each week is 5 days long and months either start with a new moon or a full moon. If the year drifts too far, an extra day or week is added in the middle of the year to bring the start of the month in line with the lunar phases, or in line with the sun. A team of astromancers are employed by the Emperor to keep extensive charts of the movements of the celestial bodies and keep the complicated and aged calendars in line with them.

The governmental system of Shimeisuraiku is highly bureaucratic, with ministries and departments that define and control aspects of society. 

 The development of alchemical arts would lead to the formation of specialized guilds and academies. These organizations would train and regulate alchemical ethyr users, ensuring the responsible use of their powers and passing down knowledge from one generation to the next.

Melinorati are a [[Sapient Peoples|sapient species]] that live on [[Terracil]]. They are a bipedal reptilian species, with skin ranging from light tan to very dark greys and blues, and exhibit classically reptilian features such as dry skin that can feature scales and osteoderms, digitigrade legs adding in two large flat toes, hands with two fingers and two mutually opposable thumbs, and most notably a unique jaw structure resembling mandibles in addition to the upper and lower jaws that open sideways.

Melinorati cultures are vastly diverse and spread across the planet, with the densest population in their home continent of XX where they share the continent with the surviving descendents of non-avian dinosaurs, known as avotheres, dragons, or lizardbeasts.

__TOC__


== Description ==
[[File:Melinorati 1.png|400px|thumb|right|alt=A pair of bipedal reptilians.|Melinorati male (left) and female (left). These individuals belong to the ''paralitori''-type, as judged by their greyer skin tone and less elaborate toughscale patches.]]
Melinorati are a tall sapient species. Usually averaging between 6-7 feet in height, they are of a reptilian lineage, descending from a sister taxon of aphanosaurs, from whom they diverged in the Triassic. 

They evolved alongside the dinosaurs in the middle Triassic, exploiting a swamp dwelling niche and hunting fish, insects, and crustaceans, as well as foraging for eggs, roots, tubers, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their curious mouths adapted in response to these needs, with the maxilla morphing into side jaws that allowed gripping of eggs, and eventually evolving into mandibles capable of gripping and other dextrous manoeuvres to handle food. The mandibles consist of remarkably prehensile joints of bones and slim musculature, with embedded teeth and lips such that when all four jaws are closed (upper jaw, bottom jaw, left and right mandible) the lips form a seal. These lips are themselves less mobile than human lips, but this dexterity is made up for by the mandibles themselves, thus non verbal communication and expression of emotion can be portrayed.

Unlike most reptiles, Melinorati teeth evolved to differentiate much like mammals. The teeth on the maxillary mandibles are shaped for sharp tearing, puncturing, and flat scraping, while the premaxilla and dentary evolved to be a proper upper and lower jaws respectively, including teeth dedicated to crushing and grinding such as molars.

Melinorati have leathery skin with localised stripy distributions of scales and occasionally scutes, marking differences between males and females, as well as subspecies. Their hands are tipped by large hands, with two long sturdy fingers flanked with a thumb on either side, making them four fingered and two thumbed, an oddity amongst Terracil sapient species.

The fingers are tipped by modestly sharp claws, at odds with the blunt and flatter claws found in their feet - wide two toed platforms attached below digitigrade legs, much like an ostrich. These are easily able to dig ground or disembowel with a slashing kick.

==== Sexual dimorphism ====
Melinorati sex can be distinguished by one with a keen eye for certain specific features. Females may often have a lighter skin tone, but as this varies wildly by sub species and geographical location, it's the last useful trait.

Females are usually shorter, possessing a larger head, and a shorter torso contrasting much longer thighs. The most distinctive features, however, are the darkened stripes of scales or scutes that develop when attaining sexual maturity. Females usually do not possess the facial scales that males develop, along the brow ridges, and top and back of the head. Males also have thicker or taller stripes of scales along the shoulders, forearms, and thighs, as well as a stripe around the back of hip bone. 

Females, if they have these stripes, will generally thinner versions, and in addition have two large areas which males lack. A large thick patch of scales and occasionally osteoderms exists on either flank at the bottom of the rib cage, as well as patches of just thick scales on either side of the neck and nape. These play roles in mating and child rearing, allowing for gripping and biting during the act of mating, as well as providing convenient thickened defences for babies to cling to with their needle-like claws. Babies grasp the rib scales with their hands and the hip scales with their feet, clinging to the side of the female while she goes about her life with both hands free.

==== Reproductive system ====
Female melinorati posses a genital slit, within which a vagina is kept safe. This is located above, and is distinct from, the cloaca, and unlike in mammals the urethra is not located next to the genitals, instead opening into the cloaca. Thus the genital slit contains only the vagina, leading to the oviduct and a specialised section of the duct that acts as a uterus analogue, and the two clitorises.

Male melinorati posses the same genital slit positioned above the cloaca, within which the two penises rest when not in use. The testes sit further inside, near the kidneys. During reproduction, one or both penises exit the slit and enter the female's vagina. Sex for pleasure and not reproduction can involve the penis entering the cloaca instead or the vagina during non-fertile periods.

==== Reproduction ====
A mother's ovaries will release several egg cells and can ultimately lay between 1 to 4 eggs, most commonly averaging 2. Once fertilised, the zygotes pass through the oviduct tract, passing though stages that create the yolk, albumen, and other egg components, culminating in the amniotic membrane. Once they reach the uterus analogue, the amniotic membranes of the eggs attach to the uterine wall and rest there for the remainder of the gestation period, usually around 260 days. The pseudoegg will connect to the uterine lining, the egg components acting as the equivalent of a placenta in mammalian pregnancies, through which the mother provides nutrients to the unborn young via the bloodstream. 

Towards the end of the pregnancy, the amniotic sac detaches from the uterine wall and migrates towards the bottom of the uterus where the shell gland toughens the amniotic membrane, transforming it into a leathery softshelled egg. Shortly before birth, the egg proceeds to the vagina for laying, and the next egg in the uterus migrates down to the shell gland. 

All the pregnant mothers in a community will lay their eggs together, as their cycles will have aligned based on optimal temperature for child-raising, amidst other factors. The mothers will passively sense the temperature approaching the ideal and their bodies will enter a fertile stage in preparation for eggs being fertilised. Egg laying will occur within a 3-4 week window roughly centred on the 260th day since the pregnancy began. The egg-laying period thus usually falls during a fertile season. 

Laying the eggs requires going into labour. The uterus-like organ clamps closed to prevent the eggs from escaping further down the tract and into the vagina when pregnant, and labour begins with the clamped muscles releasing. This can sometimes be painful to the pregnant mother if the releases happen too quickly. Once the opening is wide enough, contractions of the egg duct will encourage the decoupled egg to enter the vagina for laying. The laid eggs are placed together in a communal, well-protected, nest.

=== Life cycle ===
Laid eggs require warmth to complete the last stages of development, and hatch within days of being laid. The hatchlings emerge ravenous, with the newborns requiring a rich supply of fats to develop their brains, as well as calcium for bones, proteins for muscles, and iron for their unique blood. Later in development, they eventually adopt a more omnivorous lifestyle like their adult counterparts. 

The newborns are less developed than human infants, but grow at a quicker rate. Nevertheless, brain development follows a similar pace, if slightly slower, as it generally takes 12 years to reach sexuality maturity, equivalent to humans mid puberty, but are not considered true (wise) adults until 20 years. 

Babies are often raised communally, with the entire parental generation cohort sharing the loads of raising the young and supplying provisions. The entire clutch will consider the other hatchlings their siblings, and at some point between reaching sexuality maturity and full adulthood will leave the band and either enter a neighbouring band from the tribe, or form a new band within the tribe with individuals from different bands. 

They are able to identify blood relatives through specific seasonal pheromones released from femoral pores located along the inner thighs and embedded within the neck toughscale patches, allowing for true siblings to avoid inbreeding during mating seasons. Melinorati adults experience fertile seasons twice a year, around 280 days before the optimal temperature for chick hatching is reached, usually in spring and autumn, but this varies by geography and latitude. In colder climates, temperature preferences are replaced with a bias to birthing during productive or high food seasons, and temperature requirements sorted out by placing warm rotting vegetation over and around the eggs. 

A community will care for all children raised equally until they leave their band between ages 12 and 20. Melinorati can live to be older than 170, but usually live to between 115 and 145. Senescence rarely sets in before 100 years, with it usually occurring 20 years before they die, meaning an unusually long lived individual may not reach senescence until 170 and live to see their 200's.

=== Diet ===
xxx Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material.[204][205] Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous. In some cases, dietary restrictions in humans can lead to deficiency diseases; however, stable human groups have adapted to many dietary patterns through both genetic specialization and cultural conventions to use nutritionally balanced food sources.[206] The human diet is prominently reflected in human culture and has led to the development of food science.[207]

Until the development of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, Homo sapiens employed a hunter-gatherer method as their sole means of food collection.[207] This involved combining stationary food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms, insect larvae and aquatic mollusks) with wild game, which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.[208] It has been proposed that humans have used fire to prepare and cook food since the time of Homo erectus.[209] Around ten thousand years ago, humans developed agriculture,[210][211][212] which substantially altered their diet. This change in diet may also have altered human biology; with the spread of dairy farming providing a new and rich source of food, leading to the evolution of the ability to digest lactose in some adults.[213][214] The types of food consumed, and how they are prepared, have varied widely by time, location, and culture.[215][216]

In general, humans can survive for up to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat.[217] Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days, with a maximum of one week.[218] In 2020 it is estimated 9 million humans die every year from causes directly or indirectly related to starvation.[219][220] Childhood malnutrition is also common and contributes to the global burden of disease.[221] However global food distribution is not even, and obesity among some human populations has increased rapidly, leading to health complications and increased mortality in some developed, and a few developing countries. Worldwide, over one billion people are obese,[222] while in the United States 35% of people are obese, leading to this being described as an "obesity epidemic."[223] Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended, so excessive weight gain is usually caused by an energy-dense diet.[222] xxx

=== Biological variation ===
Melinorati populations around 160,000 years ago had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. In order to prevent speciation like what is seen today in human species, the Old Ones performed a course correction, ensuring the subspecies did not diverge further and instead converged into one homologous species. Despite this, this course correction led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori (meaning those that dwell by the coast), the threktivouni (meaning those durable folk of the highlands), and the vumentropi (meaning the river people). Today they are more akin to human races than separate species as they are able to interbreed with no adverse effects whatsoever. Interbreeding between these groups results in 'mixed-race' individuals that display characteristics of one parent and a mixed skin tone. The parent whose characteristics are inherited is hard to predict, and mixing of characteristics has been recorded on occasion.

There is also considerable biological variation in melinorati — with traits such as blood type, genetic diseases, cranial features, facial features, organ systems, eye color, hair color and texture, height and build, and skin color varying across Terracil. The typical height of an adult melinorati is between 1.9 and 2.3 m (6 ft 3 in and 7 ft 6 in), although this varies significantly depending on sex, ethnic origin, and family bloodlines.

=== Lifestyle ===
In prehistoric times, Melinorati once lived in bands approximately 25 adults strong. Bands grouped together to form larger tribes, usually around 20 bands per tribe, and controlled an extended area where the bands moved freely around, and interacted with the other bands of the tribe. 

Melinorati in a band usually practice polygamy freely, with open relationships being the norm during a mating season. Post season, they may pair up into partnerships of mutual interest, attraction, or any other factor, or continue to enjoy intimacy with any in their band simply for pleasure, with no risk of pregnancy during non fertile seasons. These partnerships may also extend into exclusivity even during mating seasons. These behaviours likely arose as a way of creating group ties and promoting a cooperative social structure. 

When children reached maturity they generally followed three paths - remain with their home band, join a different band, or team up with fellow-minded youths and form a new band. In this way, bands remain as tightly-knit family and friend groups, but with shifting gene pools and room to expand as populations grow. When they attain adulthood they will begin to take part in duties such as child-rearing, hunting, gathering, or crafting and other regular chores. Individuals who remain with their band will usually befriend and mate with the new additions from a neighbouring band, or with members of their band whom they are not related to. 

Individuals may choose to hop over to join a neighbouring band during regular meet-ups as they roam their lands. These meet-ups often include sharing of news and stories, foods and goods, as well as individuals swapping at any age. The most important event, generally, is the occasion where newly matured individuals can undergo a ceremony to become a part of the new band. They may do so after befriending fellows from a different band, wanting to experience a degree of independence with a safety net of the existing band hierarchy, or other reasons. Whatever the cause for their decisions, such transferals are celebrated, tearfully by the family they leave behind, or reverentially by the new one they have chosen.

Lastly, individuals may meet others who are like-minded during these meet ups and wish to form their own band, that they run themselves. These start-up bands generally form after larger meet-ups such as festival days or holy celebrations where more than two bands come together. Whether formed due to friendship, comradery, shared beliefs, or a desire to do things in their way, these will be a collection of people from separate groups who choose to strike out on their own. Such a path can be hard, as they may not always have elders to advise them, but picking it is a choice that is looked upon respectfully. These groups can be single-minded such as all-male or all-female hunting parties, or protest groups wishing to make their views heard seriously through taking the respected new band forming ritual, and these by their nature are short-lived bands that merge back into other bands after a time once their goals have been fulfilled. Others may be formed with a longer-lived goal in mind. A band may be formed by a tight-knit friends group eager to forge their own way through life, or by mutual attraction groups eager to have their own place to explore the more fun parts of adulthood away from their parental bands. 

==== Ancient Times to Present ====
Since the advent of civilisation, the way melinorati manage their lifecycles has drastically changed. XXX

Hunter-gatherer melinorati settlements were temporary in nature. They would set up tents and teepees in a cluster, surrounded by low dirt walls and wood stakes, and woven fences to keep small predators, snakes, and scavengers out of the camp as these represented the greatest danger to egg clutches during laying season. The stakes would keep out the inquisitive herbivorous megafauna, while fire and the threat of throwing spears and arrows would be enough to deter large carnivorous predators. Hunting spears designed to take down large prey items could be used by a crew of multiple melinorati working in unison like a battering ram, or arrows tipped with poison could weaken a prey animal to make the hunt less risky. Spear throwers such as the atlatl also saw frequent use. 

When it was time to move on, these camps could be picked up and transported to newer hunting grounds. Where groups were more likely to meet, and in certain holy locations, more permanent structures could be built out of mud brick, or even on occasion stone. Some of these ancient temples still stand today, monuments to long-forgotten deities succumbing to the ages of the world, tantalising hints to religions existing even before the gods arrived. People would gather at these locations on holy days such as an equinox or solstice and celebrate, share stories, foods, and goods, and oversee an exchange of people.

With the discovery of agriculture, these nomadic hunter-gatherer bands faced a choice - continue their ways or embrace a complete change of their way of life. Some adapted slowly, gradually building camps out of mud brick in key locations where they planted crops they would return to when they had grown enough to harvest, not tending to them like farmers but merely using the seeds as a means of collecting a food source in one place like one might stash meats or eggs. These locations might then see people remain to oversee the crops resulting in better harvests, in turn encouraging more people to stay behind. 

Those who did choose to settle rapidly found that their society needed to swiftly adapt. Having crops to look after meant establishing villages, upgrading their huts to be more permanent and comfortable places of dwelling and building stronger defensive walls to keep out roving megafauna. These early melinorati villages often consisted of a collection of mud brick huts, a defensive dirt dyke topped with mud brick walls and surrounded with sharpened stakes, and netting between huts here and there to prevent aerial attacks from overly brave pterosaurs seeking to steal children. 

Not all chose agriculture, however preferring the less stable but more familiar path of their ancestors. This was seen as a welcome choice, as it meant that hunter-gatherer tribes could return to settled villages to trade, exchanging preserved meats and goods crafted from animals for grain and woven plant items. This mutually beneficial coexistence continues in places to the modern day, and marked the beginning of the importance of trade in the minds of the melinorati peoples.

== History ==
=== Evolution ===
Melinorati evolved naturally from sister taxa to aphanosaurs, paralleling human evolution over the Cenozoic. Approximately 3.1 million years ago (mya), [[the Old Ones]] arrived and laid seeds in the gene code of the archaic melinorati species they found that would guide them to achieving sapience. The melinorati continued to evolve, diverging from Parmelinoratus around 2.7 mya. It is believed that the melinorati's ancestors may have been the first to discover fire around 1.5 mya and use it to cook food, enjoying the benefits of greater calories and launching their intellectual development towards the end goal of the planted seeds.

Melinorati achieved their recognisably anatomically modern forms around 400,000 years ago. Approximately 160,000 years ago, [[the Old Ones]] arrived and found that the melinorati populations had diverged somewhat into three separate subspecies. These were seen as mere cosmetic differences and regional adaptations, and the Old Ones worked to ensure this did not result in speciation, unlike in the human genera. This was around the same time that the Old Ones created the Itzatecah, uplifting them entirely from tropical rainforest dwelling species sharing the same continent as the melinorati.

This course correction by the Old Ones led to the melinorati population consisting of three main subgroups which still exist today. The paralitori, the threktivouni, and the vumenthropi.

== Cultures ==
Cultures:
Circular huts, later becoming square or rectangular ones. Floors were plastered, leading to pottery being invented.
Hunter gatherers start to settle and grow food that they supplement with hunting and gathering. Slowly phase that out and replace it with domesticated animal products.

There are the coastal folk who live in the southeast of their home continent, between the peaks of a mountain range and the sea, in cold misty lands a little like Norway. They are mostly fishers and farmers, and make use of their great boatmaking skills to trade with the manush and sometimes itzatecah who live to the northeast across the narrow sea. This culture values bravery in facing the waves and storms and worship the goddesses of weather and the sea above all others.

Further north lies a great desert in the centre of which are some great lakes and oases which have been the basis of a desert-dwelling culture that I have not named yet. These melinorati have created beautiful cities that gleam in the desert sun and safeguard the life-giving waters of the oases. Here greenery means life and tawny means death. However, there are nomadic hunter-gatherers who live here still in the steppes to the north east. These desert tribes migrate the dunes and will regularly make contact with the cities and trade grain or manufactured goods for livestock or rare desert resources like sky-iron from fallen stars or even wyrdstone. Through these exchanges the city-folk and the wanderers both get what they want and get to live the lives of their ancestors, either following the will of 'Mlee, the goddess of the sun, or resting in the life-giving bosom of the god Ku-nthor.

Further north the land gets wetter and warmer and there exists a powerful mercantile and militaristic culture dominated by the Sunblood theocracy. They practice strong meritocracy in promoting anyone who can outfight or outstrategise their superiors, and to prevent nepotism eggs are raised communally by all members of the culture so that no one knows who are the parents and all adults of a generation are referred to as aunts and uncles. Despite these seemingly positive traits, they are obsessed with blood as the source of their strength, and war. All males are trained in warfare and the promotion ladder leads to foolhardiness as the young attempt to prove themselves.

As I mentioned previously, they value blood as a sign of healthiness and the black lifeblood in their veins is considered the very manifestation of their honour. Doctors are amongst their most despised occupations, as they ‘spill the honour of others as they ply their trade.’ However, this attitude does not breed a reluctance to engage with dangerous activity, but rather an enthusiasm to prove themselves, for what else can glory be than besting enemies without spilling one’s honour?

Meanwhile the females administer society, controlling fields and militias, and run the high councils that preside over the masses in cities or guilds. Leaders are often warriors first and statesmen second, not unlike the Roman late republic.

== Technology ==

Melinorati technologies are incredibly advanced, using a fusion of physical and ethyric sciences to create a great many inventions that blur the line between conventional and arcane. Below are some of the more impressive examples of their great works as well as insight into their design philosophies. 

=== Cheirosiphon ===
Incendiary weapons were long used by various Melinorati clans in warfare, with centuries of development of sulphur-, petroleum-, and bitumen-based mixtures. Incendiary arrows and pots containing combustible substances thrown or launched by catapults were used extensively. The evolution of this technology eventually led to the development of flame-throwing weapons using combustible compounds based on naphtha and quicklime. Known as "liquid fire", "war fire", and "sticky fire", these weapons were incredibly useful as mounted emplacements on ships, where the flames could be spewed on enemy ships and burn them even when in contact with wet materials or water itself. The technology was then adapted into hand-held devices known as cheirosiphons (hand-tubes) that operated using a pump mechanism to compress the incendiary liquid and heat it, then eject a spurt that would immediately catch fire upon contact with the air and the target. 

: The distance the fire travelled was proportional to the strength of the pumping, and as such the operator could choose to send the flames a mere meter to over 20 meters away, comparable to the effective range of war javelins or throwing spears/atlatls. Though vastly out-ranged by arrows, crossbows, and powder weaponry, the use of these weapons saw considerable usage due to its unrivalled ability to render armour and shields useless, as if the incendiary liquid came into contact with a shield it would imperil the wielder with life-threatening burns. Would the liquid come into contact with armour, the heat would be transferred through metal, causing 3rd-degree burns, or set aflame leather and clothing. The psychological impact also as such can not be underestimated. 

: In warfare, specially trained units wielding these weapons would don special uniforms of white cloth that was miraculously resistant to flame. These white warriors accept their fate to die horribly through the dangers of close range use of fire or the disease of coughing fits that seems to plague them, and through their grim determination to soldier on they can always be relied on to destroy the enemy's resolve.

: With the advent of new forms of ethyr manipulation such as ionisation and compression, this jump-started an entire new field of incendiary weapon development. The liquid could be made hotter, or even surpass the need for secret formulas and use air directly as the medium to heat, ionise, and compress for firing as in the enchanted poiteiasiphons. These weapons could challenge slings in range, though bows out-ranged them due to the heat and plasma dissipating at longer distances, and were much more devastating to targets than the previous cheirosiphons, being able to melt armour and burn holes through flesh, and even melt and blacken stone. 

=== Fulmenous Phials ===
{{MainArticle| [[Fulmenous Phials]]|}}
The ionisation and compression ethyr manipulations could be used to compress and ionise air into phials as well as store ethyric energy in batteries. These could be used in conjunction, as seen in poiteiasiphons which utilise ethyr energy to turn air into plasma (tinted magenta/purple due to nitrogen and oxygen) and fire it at targets. These phials of plasma have become a standard method of transporting the useful material, and as such can be used as a module in many different technologies. They have been used in weapons of war, grenades and other explosives, and in non-war applications. As grenades, they exist as expensive upgrades to the standard liquid fire throw-able pot, replacing the incendiary with a glass phial that shatters and explodes, melting and showering with shards of ceramic and glass even as the plasma superheats the air and burns the surroundings. A modification on this design allows for the incendiary liquid to be enhanced, making it able to stick to most materials by combined virtue of its stickiness and heat melting itself into the substrate. This allows for "sticky grenades" that can be thrown against or placed on targets in motion or directed explosions to help break through barriers. Though fabulously expensive, as a result of the terrifying efficacy these grenades have become greatly feared by the enemies of any who wield them.

: Another example of a use for these phials is to power the legendary ethyrblades. The phial is contained within a sword hilt and connected to an emitter of some sort. When the user activates it by gripping the hilt, the mechanisms can be activated by jerking the wrist in a single sharp motion. This causes the lightning ethyr to form a blade shaped to the specifics that the emitter was tuned for, followed by triggering the phial to release its plasma into the cage of lightning. This forms a sword made of incredibly hot material that weighs nothing; all weight is in the hilt alone. The downside of no physical blade is that it cannot slice with light contact to flesh, rather it burns and shocks electrically. However, when the blade is moved slightly slower sweeping motions it can cut through armour and flesh with equal ease. Many styles of swordplay have been developed by various Melinorati swordmasters focusing on different ways to use an ethyrblade in combat, from swift harrying and probing attacks, to slow methodical sweeps, as well as forms suited to to fighting armoured and unarmoured opponents, multiple foes, and combating enchanted harnesses such as Elven ethyrmaille or the Melinorati lorica harness. Wounds inflicted with the ethyrblade include cauterisation, third degree burns, flash boiling of blood and other fluids causing traumatic explosions of vapour, and other debilitating effects of being exposed to intense flames. Being hit with such a blade is invariably deadly and an impact can only be stopped by wards such as amulets enchanted to provide shields and the inbuilt ward shields present on suits of Elven ethyrmaille. 

* '''Laminated Plate''' - In experimentations with captured Drokha anti-pressure technology, it was discovered that running lightning ethyr through a metal wire within an anti-pressure chamber caused everything inside the chamber to become coated in an incredibly thin layer of the metal. This became used for all sorts of applications from gilding and plating materials, but also to construct armour through layers upon layers of different metals. Alloys were originally used but it was discovered that a side effect of the tech caused the metal to purify and did not get transferred as an alloy. With this technique, many intricately layered and structurally marvellous creations were made, including Melinorati equivalents to Myaner Ethyrmaille.

: With the sharing of arcane information on ethyr and fulmenous technology between Melinorati and Myaner, this technology was used to coat individual ethyrmaille plates with drokha titanium metal, making it able to resist more weathering, become stronger due to the lamination, and entirely rust resistant. 


=== Weaponry ===
Overall design elements of Melinorati technology: using organic curves for blades and wood components, and incorporating Greek fire for that plasma armour penetration element.

- Plasma Rifle etc - variations on the Greek fire handheld launchers
- Plasma Pistol - curved dagger
- Carbine - crossbow
- Needle Rifle - variety of crossbow 
- Beam Rifle - very powerful high range sniper's crossbow
- Concussion Rifle - potentially a grenade launcher
- Fuel Rod Cannon - crossbow modified to launch heavy grenades
- Plasma Launcher - same but lighter?
- Plasma Caster - same^?
- Needler - ///impossible?

- Plasma Grenade - Greek fire capsule
- Spike Grenade - war dart
- Firebomb Grenade - oil Molotov cocktails

- Plasma Turret - emplaced Greek fire turret, such as on a ships prow or on the walls of a keep to destroy battering rams and siege towers.

- Energy Sword - many varieties of sword blade, from normal hilts to perpendicular hilts
- Gravity Hammer - war axes/hammers/maces
- Energy Halberds - pole arms

* '''Melinorati Greatbow''' - The melinorati greatbow is a dangerous weapon - only an archer with a melinorati's strength and dexterity can draw one, and it takes a skilled archer to aim at those ranges.

* '''Barb Launcher''' - A barb launcher is a modified crossbow, fitted with a lever that assists with the draw of the incredibly high tension coil that serves as the bowstring. The barbs it shoots are threaded like a screw to allow it to spin in the air, increasing accuracy at range, as well as tremendous power - drilling through armour upon impact.

* '''Burnblade''' - The burnblade is a weapon invented by the melinorati to adapt their traditional weaponry to perform better against the enemies they found themselves at war with. The weapon glows red hot from heat within, and chars any flesh it comes into contact with, causing clads or burns even from near misses.

* '''Flamespitter''' - Flamespitters are ingenious contraptions, using the melinorati invention of greek fire combined with the stolen elven technology of compressed gas to produce a harrowing weapon of warfare. Each trigger pull spits a gob of vaporising flaming liquid, and a simple pump of the lever flap resets the weapon to spit another flameball.

* '''The Lightning Blade''' - The Lightning Blade is one of the most famous of the ethyrblades, a crackling, hissing, ethereal curved srowd of shaped lightning, and was crafted by Kul 'Hotek the famous melinorati High Ascetic himself during the first Dwarf War for the Arbiter, II Guth 'Ordamee. The sword is near weightless, with runes on the handle that direct the captured lightning magic into any enemies that get too near. 

* '''Flamelancer''' - The Flamelancer is a heavily modified flamespitter, with a magically forged circuit within the upper section that compresses the projectile liquids, and a bottom section full of more magical components such as coils of magic that suck air in through small holes, an enchantment that tears the very air's matter apart, and another that sends the flaming concoction spewing farther than physically possible. Unlike the normal flame spitters, the Flamelancer's flames vary with every gob spat - from more common pinks and blues to rarer purple, grey, yellow, red or white. It is a rainbow of death, burning even that which it merely comes close to. 

* '''The Cyan Beam''' - A crossbow taken to the extremes of physics, The Cyan Beam is a weapon coveted by all who see it. Gleaming purple metal panels cover the weapons two rails, each with a recurved bow arm and high tension coils. Both coils draw back and rest behind a single conical spiral volt, which is fitted with dots of greek fire in small pits along the rear half of the bolt. Once the twin triggers are pulled, the metal bolt launches forward, tracing a spiral emphasised by the blue and green helical trail of the greek fire, until it thuds home hundreds of meters away, burrowing through armour, setting cloth ablaze, and punching through to anyone unlucky enough to be caught behind the target.

[[Ropevine]]s are the common name for a species of subtropical to temperate vine plant. The plant is known for its ability to grow around objects or within spaces and for its strong reaction to the presence of [[Light-Ethyr#Growth|life-ethyr]].

The vine is quite common in [[Thena]], and can be found growing naturally in many forests, where it often grows around trees in order to reach sunlight in the canopy of the forest. The plant is able to survive its first stage of life without much nutrients if need be, and can thrive well within an enclosed space if nutrients are provided to it. This has proved to make it an invaluable discovery for the many myaner who prefer natural styles of architecture, interior decorations, and other aesthetic projects. 

The property of ropevines that allows it to harden into wood upon death also makes it a popular building material as it grows around pillars or stakes and can be coaxed into filling in spaces like walls while keeping an organic, multilayered vine texture.

== Uses ==

When used for pre-fabricated items such as chairs or pillars, a hollow mould is created, and a seedling is deposited inside. A steady supply of water is provided as well as various powdered or paste-form nutrient rich treatments. These sustain the plant as it grows rapidly, filling the space inside in its search for light. This can be accelerated by providing a supply of life-ethyr, and the quantity provided can have effects on the appearance of the finished product. Once the plant appears out of the top of the mould, it is killed allowed to cure before the mould is removed, leaving behind a light-weight wooden shape filling the space. This can result in unique bespoke pieces where the vine is grown quickly and without enough time to fill the space fully, resulting in a net-like almost woven product, or it can be grown more slowly and carefully to completely fill the mould, creating a perfect light-weight wooden copy.

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and [[The_Golden_Disc|a ring system]]. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have both moons and a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Otherwise, its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard.

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world, as well as those who live near large bodies of water, that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon in addition to observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. Furthermore, the shadow of Terracil on its own ring system provides potent proof of the planet's roundness and has sparked a great degree of mathematical and astronomical development as people sought to understand the world around them.

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight shining down wells, or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sincar term for silver "celeb", whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass "kwelpor", which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

Thena is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== [[Meli]] ====
Meli is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island
** Desert
** Rainforest
** Monsoon Savannahs
** South Medi coast
** Northern Subtropicals
* Northeast Medi regions
* East Jungle

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and [[The_Golden_Disc|a ring system]]. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have both moons and a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Otherwise, its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard.

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world, as well as those who live near large bodies of water, that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon in addition to observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. Furthermore, the shadow of Terracil on its own ring system provides potent proof of the planet's roundness and has sparked a great degree of mathematical and astronomical development as people sought to understand the world around them.

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight shining down wells, or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sincar term for silver "celeb", whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass "kwelpor", which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

==== [[Thena]] ====
Thena is one of the main 5 biogeographic realms constituting Terracil's surface. Thena is divided into the following bioregions:
* Northern Shield
* Temperate forests and plains
* Deserts and shrublands 
* Savannah
* Jungle zone
* [[Lovyrn]]

 The dominant fauna of the NA consists of derived avialan dinosaurs including dragons, and mammals such as:

==== [[Meli]] ====
Meli is a continent that lies mostly in the southern hemisphere. It is divided into the following bioregions:

* North Island
** Desert
** Rainforest
** Monsoon Savannahs
** South Medi coast
** Northern Subtropicals
* Northeast Medi regions
* East Jungle
* West Jungle
* North Savannah
* The Desert Belt
* South Steppes
* Southern Savannahs
* Southern temperate hills
* Mediterranean
* South Island
* South Continental
* East Arid Zone
* Southeast Mountain Tundras

[[File:North Island narrow satellite test.png|thumb]]

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

 The desert belt
 A great belt of deserts stretches across the continent from east to west, separating the moist northern equatorial areas from the mediterranean conditions along the southern coast of the continent. These deserts are bound by the impressive NAME mountain range, and is broken up by steppe, shrubland, and the occasional hilly range or lake system which provide unique bastions of diversity.

 "Travelers from distant lands tell tales of how, as you journey north or south, the lands get colder or hotter, but we know this to be untrue. For it is a known fact that journeying north or south changes not the temperature, only the water. We live in the best place in the world, for we have water in plenty and lush growth, when the peoples of the north and the south must struggle with drought and lack of plants. For this, we know we are blessed."

'''Terracil''' is the main planet of the Terrac system and the setting of all stories that take place in the Teracillion. It orbits the [[Sun]], an F6v spectral type star. Terracil has 2 moons, [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]], and [[The_Golden_Disc|a ring system]]. The planet is on the whole quite Earth-like.

__TOC__

== Description ==
Terracil is the fourth planet from the sun in its stellar system, orbiting between [[Dawnstar]] and TRC V. It is the only inner planet to have both moons and a ring system. The planet has 4 large contiguous landmasses and these are often split into 5 biogeographic realms or continents. The force of gravity on Terracil is slightly lower than standard, at 8.43 m/s&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; or 86% the standard. Otherwise, its radius, surface area, and circumference are all very close to standard.

While there may be some people who still believe the world is flat, it is known to scholars across the world, as well as those who live near large bodies of water, that the planet is round thanks to observations of boats sailing across the horizon in addition to observations of stars wheeling in the night sky or the shadows of planets and moons on each other. Furthermore, the shadow of Terracil on its own ring system provides potent proof of the planet's roundness and has sparked a great degree of mathematical and astronomical development as people sought to understand the world around them.

Using mathematical techniques such as geometry and observations of sunlight shining down wells, or stars on the horizon, scholars have tried multiple times to identify the size of Terracil. The most rigorous of these attempts resulted in a circumference of 40,000 km which is less than half a percent off of the actual figure. As a result, Terracil has a surface area of 511 million square kilometres of which approximately 30% is land area. 

=== Moons ===
{{MainArticle| [[Celebri]] and [[Quelpor]]|s}}

Terracil is orbited by two major moons. They are easily distinguishable as the closer moon is silvery grey in colour whereas the farther moon is yellow-brown. This is the origin of their names, as [[Celebri]] the Silver Moon derives from the Sincar term for silver "celeb", whereas [[Quelpor]] the Brass Moon derives from the Itzatecah term for the metal brass "kwelpor", which is itself a loanword from Germanic gelb-or (meaning yellow-gold). The moons are of different sizes, but the distances they orbit from Terracil are such that they appear roughly the same size in the sky. Coincidentally, this is also very similar to the size that the sun takes up in the sky, making stellar eclipses possible on Terracil. 

The planet also hosts a ring system composed of rocks and dust. The ring system is usually dark, but in times of full illumination, glows a dramatic golden colour reflecting the sun's light. As a result, its name usually involves some reference to gold, such as the common term the [[the Golden Disc]], even though the rings are more of a creamy tan colour. Another common term used for it is the Heavenly Disc.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== Arraid ====
The first planet from the sun is designated [[Arraid]]. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 

Alraid? Arraid? Arra'id? Arra-Id? Arra'Id?

==== Peregrine ====
The second planet from the sun is [[Peregrine]]. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle|[[Terracil]], also see: [[Celebri]], [[Quelpor]]|}}
Terracil is a rocky planet that orbits fourth from the sun at the edge of the habitable zone at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 444 local days. Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver-coloured moon named [[Celebri]] and a brass-coloured moon named [[Quelpor]].

Terracil has liquid water, an active biosphere, magnetosphere, and plate tectonics, and is further suffused with [[Ethyr|ethyr]] as a result of being exposed to the Sun's luminiferous ethyr and the subsequent reprocessing of it by the local lifeforms and natural processes. The local [[Ecology#Flora|flora]] and [[Ecology#Fauna|fauna]] have adapted to the presence of the ethyrs by either protecting themselves from the negative effects of its use through blocking access such as the ethyr-suppressor genes, or finding safe pathways with which to exploit it such as the plants that have developed an autosymbiotic relationship with their own viridaerious ethyr released through photosynthesis.

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

Known as '''The Sun''', TRC0 is the designation given to the star in the centre of the Terrac star system. 

The Sun is the main star in the Terrac system. It is a main-sequence star and has a spectral type of F6v. The Sun is orbited by twelve planets designated as TRC I through to TRC XII. The enormous effect of the Sun on Terracil has been recognized since prehistoric times. The Sun was thought of by some cultures as a deity. The synodic rotation of Terracil and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of [[Calendars|solar calendars]], one of which is the [[Itzatecah]] [[Itzatecah Calendar|calendar]] still in use today.

__TOC__

== Description ==
The Sun is by far the most massive component in the Terrac system. Its large mass (486,700 Earth masses), which comprises 99.72% of all the mass in the stellar system, produces temperatures and densities in its core high enough to sustain nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium, making it a main-sequence star with a spectral type of F6v. This releases an enormous amount of energy, mostly radiated into space as electromagnetic radiation peaking in the visible light spectrum, at a blue-green hue compared to Sol's green.

The Sun formed around 4.5 billion years ago and is orbited by twelve planets, an inner and outer asteroid belt, and an icy comet cloud. The planets are designated TRC I (belonging to the main habitable planet [[Terracil]]), while the other designations TRC II through to TRC XII belong to the planets in order from closest to farthest orbit around the sun.


== Inner Terrac System Planets ==
{{MainArticle| [[Terracil]], TRC II, TRC III, [[Dawnstar]], TRC V|s}}
=== Inner Planets ===
==== Arraid ====
The first planet from the sun is designated [[Arraid]]. It is a small iron planet with a mass of around 30% of Terracil and around 60% the radius. TRC II orbits at 0.26 AU (around 16% of Terracil's orbit). TRC II is occasionally visible from the surface of Terracil at an average apparent brightness of +0.36, and only around sunset and sunrise. 


==== Peregrine ====
The second planet from the sun is [[Peregrin]]. It is a small rocky planet slightly smaller than TRC II, with a radius around 50% of Terracil and a mass around 12%. It orbits at approximately half of Terracil's orbit, around 0.52 AU. This planet is usually visible from Terracil at an average apparent brightness of -1.00, although as an inferior planet this is again dependent on time of day and year. It is usually 3.5x brighter than TRC II.

==== Dawnstar ====
The final inferior planet to Terracil in the system is TRC IV. This is a rocky planet slightly smaller than Terracil, at a radius of 80% and a mass of 65% of that of Terracil. It is remarkably bright, and at its brightest can sometimes be seen during the day. During sunsets and sunrises this planet gleams through the low light and is known as the Dawnstar or Light planet.

==== Terracil ====
{{MainArticle|[[Terracil]], also see: [[Celebri]], [[Quelpor]]|}}
Terracil is a rocky planet that orbits fourth from the sun at the edge of the habitable zone at ~1.56 AU, completing a revolution of the sun every 444 local days. Terracil has [[The Golden Disc|a ring system]] as well as two major moons, a silver-coloured moon named [[Celebri]] and a brass-coloured moon named [[Quelpor]].

Terracil has liquid water, an active biosphere, magnetosphere, and plate tectonics, and is further suffused with [[Ethyr|ethyr]] as a result of being exposed to the Sun's luminiferous ethyr and the subsequent reprocessing of it by the local lifeforms and natural processes. The local [[Ecology#Flora|flora]] and [[Ecology#Fauna|fauna]] have adapted to the presence of the ethyrs by either protecting themselves from the negative effects of its use through blocking access such as the ethyr-suppressor genes, or finding safe pathways with which to exploit it such as the plants that have developed an autosymbiotic relationship with their own viridaerious ethyr released through photosynthesis.

==== TRC V ====
The next farthest planet from the sun at 2.5 AU is TRC V, a rocky planet in the habitable zone. This planet is very earth-like (or Terracil-like), as it has liquid water, a magnetosphere and plate tectonics, and a mass of around 107% of Terracil and a radius just slightly smaller than Terracil at 95%. Due to the higher density on this planet the gravity is higher than on Terracil and holds in an atmosphere that is very similar to Earth's. Viewed from Terracil, it is usually slightly brighter than TRC IV, but this changes as it is more easily viewed at night. When it appears during the day, it can rarely be faintly visible, and can often be seen during daylight nearing sunset. Unlike the inferior planets, however, it remains visible during the night. Some mythologies refer to peoples living on this planet.

=== Asteroid Belt ===
A belt of asteroids orbits the sun between TRC V and TRC VI. It contains a great many solid, irregularly shaped bodies, of many sizes but much smaller than planets as well as several minor planets.

== Outer Planets ==
=== Gas Giants ===
==== TRC VI ====
After this belt orbits TRC VI. TRC VI is a supermassive gas giant 290 times the mass of Terracil and 21 times the radius. The first gas giant and the largest non-solar body in the Terracil system, TRC VI orbits the sun at 5.6 AU. Its massive size and close proximity causes it to be the brightest planet in the system when viewed from Terracil, at an average apparent brightness of -7.4, which is bright enough to cast faintly human-visible shadows at night. 

==== TRC VII ====
The first planet past the frost line, TRC VII is a super-Jupiter gas giant which orbits the sun at 7.9 AU and is 922 times more massive than Terracil. It has a radius of 11 times that of Terracil and is the first planet past the frost line. The apparent brightness is on average enough to cast faint shadows at night and to be seen during the day, and at its dimmest it is still visible during the early morning and late evening.

==== TRC VIII ====
TRC VIII is a gas giant with a mass of 111 times Terracil and a radius of 9.5 Terracils. TRC VIII orbits at 11 AU and is on average the third brightest non-solar and non-moon body in the solar system when viewed from Terracil. At its dimmest an apparent magnitude of -1.84 makes it similar to Jupiter's minimum.

=== Ice Giants ===
==== TRC IX ====
The first of the ice giants is TRC IX, 20 times more massive and 3.5 times the radius of Terracil. Orbiting at a distance of 16 AU, its apparent brightness varies between +1.1 and -0.5, which is comparable to Saturn viewed from Earth. 

==== TRC X ====
A second gas giant, TRC X, is 13.6 times more massive and 3.6 times the radius of Terracil, has an average apparent magnitude of +0.2, and orbits at 23 AU.

=== Dwarf Planets ===
==== TRC XI ====
The first of the rocky and icy dwarf planets is TRC XI. It has a radius a quarter of Terracil's and slightly smaller than Terracil's smaller moon, the silver, which which its mass is closely comparable.

==== TRC XII ====
The final planet to orbit the sun is TRC XII, another dwarf planet. At a similar mass to TRC XI but much smaller radius - almost a half of the silver moon - this planet is much denser. At apparent magnitudes of +8.3 and +9.5 respectively, both of these dwarf planets are dimmer than the extreme naked-eye limits of visibility, and orbit at 33 and 50 AU respectively.

    <text bytes="18795" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', (also known by a myriad other terms) is a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[Magesight|magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Light-Ethyr}}
This major group of ethyrs all share an origin in that they relate to electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, they tend to be created during endergonic or endothermic reactions. 

Also known as '''luminiferous ethyr''', the subtypes of light-ethyr lie on a spectrum from magnetic to electric. The large overlap between the two is known as chemical ethyr, and this is split into a wide array of subtypes, from specific to broad categories such as the alchemical ethyrs or viridaerious or glaciferous ethyr. The subtypes generally correspond to the source of the ethyr or the main application it has.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of '''wyrd-ethyr''' are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd ethyr is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul ethyr is more arcane, as it relates to the ethyr that comes from the decomposition of other ethyrs as well as having links to the soul itself, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood aspect of an already esoteric topic, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirety. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise the ethyric mists as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is often regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat ethyr as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="18809" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', (also known by a myriad other terms) is a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[Magesight|magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Light-Ethyr}}
This major group of ethyrs all share an origin in that they relate to electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, they tend to be created during endergonic or endothermic reactions. 

Also known as '''luminiferous ethyr''', the subtypes of light-ethyr lie on a spectrum from magnetic to electric. The large overlap between the two is known as chemical ethyr, and this is split into a wide array of subtypes, from specific to broad categories such as the alchemical ethyrs or viridaerious or glaciferous ethyr. The subtypes generally correspond to the source of the ethyr or the main application it has.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Wyrd-Ethyr}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of '''wyrd-ethyr''' are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd ethyr is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul ethyr is more arcane, as it relates to the ethyr that comes from the decomposition of other ethyrs as well as having links to the soul itself, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood aspect of an already esoteric topic, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Gravity-Ethyr}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Creation-Ethyr}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirety. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise the ethyric mists as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is often regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat ethyr as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr.

However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common. 


 or as certain types of energy are converted from one form to another. For example, the conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy causes the release of gravity ethyr.


 Thus there must be 4 subdivisions of magic, which are the same power but different flavour. Treat ethyr as energy that can be used for each of the more refined arts, like investiture and shardworld magics.
 EM, weak force, strong force, and gravity are the four main divisions. Ethyric winds. EM naturally splits into: electricity, magnetism, all the rays (gamma, X, microwave, radio etc), and light and the colours. 
 Electricity releases magic and magic can be used to manipulate electricity. Wireless power? The key spell to wirelessly summon magic is an electric spell?
 Magnetism includes chemistry as chemical bonds are magnetic. If energy is taken in, magic is released and vice versa. Ferromagnetic metals attract or repel. Magnets release magic, and magic can be spent to manipulate magnetism. 
 Rays such as light are photons at specific frequencies. The photons interact with the ethyric field and create tiny contrails of magic that's more easily seen as a wave or cloud or luminiferous ethyric wind. This can be drawn in and used for spells and magecraft. Need to absorb the light ethyr for a few seconds to get enough to do things. 
 Light splits into colours but this does not affect the luminiferous ethyr. However, the many different applications of the EM force can be represented by colours normally associated with that application. For example, plants photosynthesise and this releases ethyr as it's an endothermic reaction. This ethyr is seen as green magic and is associated with plant life, growth, and healing.

==Risks==
 Perhaps the drain is because the magic rips energy out of the body. Perhaps ATP stored in the body is forced to break apart? Perhaps the body reacts to this by pumping up blood sugar levels so mitochondria can respire more, and it leads to a quick draining of energy. If this is a normal biological response to magical energy/ether then this explains why biology selected against the ability to use it. It's dangerous.

=== Prehistory ===
Ethyr has been used on Terracil, consciously or unconsciously, since living beings evolved. However, it was only with the development of social behaviour that the use of ethyr could be used without the downsides causing death from the exertion it caused the body. This was taken to a new level when sapience emerged among social groups such as hominids and melinorids. The complex social structure to support the unfit meant that it was safer to experiment with the powers of ethyr and to learn to exploit it for the benefit of the tribe. In this way, the earliest mages were honoured leaders and public servants both.

Not all the applications of ethyr were known, nor are they fully realised to this day, but the ancient peoples knew of ethyr as its own art and that it was divided into several groups. We know historically of the existence of the types of magic users shown in the table on the right.

In antiquity, various scientist-mages whose names are remembered to this day were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of ethyr. Though many of their theories are laughably wrong according to modern knowledge, some of their tenets are the baseline upon which modern theories are still being added on to to this day.

The first theory of magic was what is now referred to as Colour Theory. Jowuros the Optikian was the scientist-mage accredited with the association of colours to ethyr. It was the discovery of the prism that provided the eureka moment as Jowuros noted how the prism refracted white light into a rainbow of colours. He saw 7 colours in the rainbow and the existence of the dominant field of magic, then known as Green magic, led him to search for the other 6 colours of magic. The art of the burnmages who used fire ethyr was renamed Red magic, for example. 
The blue glow given off by wyrdstone when wyrd ethyr is drawn from it was eventually associated with Blue magic.

Over half a century later, this colour system began to be adopted by the mages of the Orders. Other dedicated proponents of the theory worked hard to assign every known type of magic into the existing 7 colours, with justifications ranging from perfectly reasonable to increasingly contrived. 

Lingliir the Manycoloured was the one who compiled the Rainbow List, redefining the accepted 7 colours theory into a new version. He paired Red and Indigo magic with Destruction ethyr and Creation ethyr respectively, relocating Fire ethyr to be Orange magic. Though his list was rejected in his lifetime, in the following centuries the Rainbow List saw more traction. With the addition of scholarly knowledge of the godlike [[Itzatecah]] species known as the Tzlan and their mastery of Creation and Destruction magics, later scientist-mages combined the two fields into Red magic as two sides of the same coin, leaving Indigo free and declaring it to be an as of yet undiscovered discipline. It is from this period that the phrase "like discovering Indigo" and other related ones originate, as the idea of vast and unimaginable undiscovered powers could someday be found and used to advance humankind captured the imagination of the population, especially non-ethyr users. 

Other theories of the time included Newquenism which preached that Creation and Destruction were indeed the same power but separate from the rainbow, the Society for the Research of True Ethyric Understanding which referred to the fields of dark, soul, and death magic as Black Magicks, and many other societies of scholars, scientists, mages and theorisers. Others still brought up arguments against established theories such as the fact that many theories excluded strengthmages, and that the Rainbow List's links were tenuous to the point of being unfounded.

Eventually it was Jigon the Great who established the relationship between all sources of [[Light-Ethyr]] and that the other magics belonged to their own fields parallel to Light-Ethyr. Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

    <text bytes="18823" xml:space="preserve">'''Ethyr''', (also known by a myriad other terms) is a collection of forces that permeate the universe and is how all Terracil magic systems function. Ethyr primarily takes the form of a non-corporeal gas or mist, and is usually invisible to most except those individuals born with the ability to see it, an ability  known as [[Magesight|magesight]].

__TOC__

== Terminology ==
There are many terms for Ethyr, used by scholars across Terracil. Some refer to it as Aether whereas common folk more often describe its use simply as using Magic. Another, rarer, spelling that is not seen in the modern era is Ythr.

Other terms include 'using the winds' or even the 'polychromatic winds', as well as 'magecraft', 'casting spells', as well as variations of 'weaving' magic, such as 'spellweaving', or 'ethyr-weaving'. 

== The Nature of Ethyr ==
Ethyr exists across the universe, and is a powerful force of creation and change. It is a type of magical 'energy' that is generated through specific interactions of the four fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak force, gravity, strong force). 

All magic systems in the Terracil universe are derived from fluctuations in an arcane field. This [[Ethyric Field|ethyric field]] interacts with all the fields of the four fundamental forces in various ways. Depending on which force interacted with the field, the fluctuations can be keyed to different 'flavours', limiting what can be done with it. For example, [[Gravity-Ethyr|gravity-ethyr]] cannot be used to heal wounds but it can be used to manipulate how gravity affects an object. As another example, fluctuations in the ethyric field caused by rapid decay causes decay-flavour ripples in the field which manifests as a cloud of [[Wyrd-Ethyr|wyrd-ether]] which can be used to do [[wyrdcraft]]. In this example, the wyrd-ethyr released is keyed to specific interactions and usually its use results in a great increase in entropy. 

In total, four types of ethyr exist:

{| width="100%"
|- style="font-weight:bold; text-align:center" 
|● '''[[Light-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Wyrd-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Gravity-Ethyr]]''' ●
|● '''[[Creation-Ethyr]]''' ●
|}

Each type has its own subdivisions of flavours, and associated magical arts. Light-Ethyr usage is the most widespread of the Ethyric Arts, due to its greater availability and higher prevalence of users amongst sapient populations. It also has the widest range of applications, from manipulating light to healing wounds, and is the most commonly used ethyr for weaving enchantments.

Due to how complex the interactions are between fields, it is not easy to predict how limiting any particular flavour of ethyr can be on its range of applications. Some flavours are highly limited while others are much less so. In some cases the specific source of the ethyr can limit the ethyr even further, such as the distinction between chemistry-flavoured light-ethyr and bloodmagic ethyr which technically falls within the window of chemistry flavour but has its own unique uses.

=== Light-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Light-Ethyr|}}
This major group of ethyrs all share an origin in that they relate to electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, they tend to be created during endergonic or endothermic reactions. 

Also known as '''luminiferous ethyr''', the subtypes of light-ethyr lie on a spectrum from magnetic to electric. The large overlap between the two is known as chemical ethyr, and this is split into a wide array of subtypes, from specific to broad categories such as the alchemical ethyrs or viridaerious or glaciferous ethyr. The subtypes generally correspond to the source of the ethyr or the main application it has.

=== Wyrd-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Wyrd-Ethyr|}}
The theme of this major group of ethyrs is decay. Whether it be the decomposition of organic matter, ageing of inorganics, the steady creep of entropy can even break down ethyr itself. When this occurs, it creates the wyrd-ethyrs. 

The main subtypes of '''wyrd-ethyr''' are wyrd, soul, death, and void. Wyrd ethyr is sourced from [[wyrdstone]] ores, hence the name of the material. Soul ethyr is more arcane, as it relates to the ethyr that comes from the decomposition of other ethyrs as well as having links to the soul itself, whereas death flavour comes from the severing of the soul from a body and the subsequent decay of the body left behind. Finally, void ethyr is the least understood aspect of an already esoteric topic, but it is generally thought to be the decay of reality itself.

=== Gravity-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Gravity-Ethyr|}}
This major group's theme is the interaction between masses and space (and time). Ethyr inherently exists inside objects with mass as it seeps into our reality out of the [[ethyric realm]] and can be used to affect those masses weights temporarily. This does not affect their mass nor inertia. It can be drawn through touch and moved around, but will eventually stabilise at an equilibrium.

The main subtypes of gravity-ethyr are potential, weight, and tidal. Potential flavour governs falling objects, weight governs objects with mass, and tidal governs larger scale manipulations by celestial bodies. 

=== Creation-Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|Creation-Ethyr|}}
The fourth and most powerful major group of ethyrs has its theme in the reality of matter. 

The main types of creation-ethyr are mass, creation, negation, and destruction. Creation and destruction flavour are two sides of the same coin, as they relate to the conversion of matter to energy and vice versa. Negation is the practice of using ethyr to dismantle the weave of spells, enchantments, or simply dispersing non-woven ethyr. Mass flavour governs the art of manipulating an objects very mass itself.

== Accessing Ethyr ==
The ability to use ethyr by living beings has been heavily selected against by evolution on Terracil. This is due to a major drawback of using ethyr - a user must expend as much of their own body's energy as the quantity of ethyr they are using to accomplish what they intend to do. This generally causes users to become fatigued quickly or even accidentally kill themselves expending more energy than they could afford, burning themselves out fatally. This phenomenon is known of across Terracil, as evidenced by many local stories such as the tale of the [[Burning Frog Phenomenon|burning frog]].

As a result a whole cavalcade of 'ethyr suppressor' genes have arisen that "turn off" the body's connectivity to ethyr, much like the many tumour suppressor genes prevent cancers. Mutations can occur that revert one or more of these genes, but usually this is not enough to access ethyr in its entirety. Enough mutations of the right variety can grant "[[Magesight|magesight]]," the term used to describe the ability to visualise ethyr. Ethyr manifests as an invisible ethereal mist. Individuals with magesight are able to visualise the ethyric mists as colourful, with colours being associated with the specific field the ethyr originated from. (This is not a real colour, but a property that manifests as colour for sapient physical beings with colour vision much like synaesthesia.)

More mutations can allow for the ability to use ethyr to varying degrees. Of those who can use ethyr, there are many subdivisions of abilities. By far the most rare is the ability to use multiple, or even hypothetically all, types of ethyr, and this is considered to be impossible for mere mortals and is often regarded as the domain of gods and deific beings from legend. The next most rare is the ability to use all the flavours of one type of ethyr. This is usually the most a mortal can be born with, and these individuals often go on to become archmages of renown. That being said, there have only been a handful of individuals in all of recorded history who have been able to do this.

What is more common is the ability to wield a certain flavour or subdivision of ethyr. However, the distribution of which type of ethyr a mage can use is heavily skewed in favour of users of light-ethyr, being disproportionately more common than the other three. Similarly, the different flavours are not necessarily the same in frequency of occurrence, as yellow light-ethyr is again easily the most common.

Due to long-standing dogma, however, he was pressured into describing his theory as a rainbow of rainbows, where Light and its 7 constituent colours was but one of 7 types of Ethyr. This list was refined over time and became accepted as truth after a redistribution of colours and elimination of gaps, creating a set of 6. Rainbows were reinterpreted to have 6 colours as a result and indigo was once again dropped from the list. 

=== Modern Theory of Ethyr ===
{{MainArticle|[[Ethyric Theory]]|}}
For hundreds of years after, many competing and conflicting theories including these were being used in various parts of the world and by various groups. The Grant Unified Theory of Ethyr finally unified all the theories into one. The theory began as scientists unified the theories of electricity and magnetism after interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and mages uncovered that they were different manifestations of the same force. This shook the established views of ethyr and paved the way for ground-breaking innovation. The proposal that there were therefore only four basic forces saw great support as unprecedented experimentation with the flavours, feel, and qualities of ethyrs was possible due to higher prevalence of mages with access to multiple types of ethyr and the experimentation seemed to support four broad classifications. These four fundamental forces were seen as the carriers of ethyr from the [[Ethyric Field]], summarising the field of [[Ethyric Theory]].

'''Lovyrn''' is a broadly circular landmass lying off the west coast of Thena and is renowned for its unique [[Ecology|fauna]]. 

The main regions of Lovyrn are the northern forests and the northern mediterranean (separated by the north arm of the [[Vyrnaeglir range]]); the western plains and the wide southwestern plains (separated by the main body of the Vyrnaeglir range); the south, composed of the arid southwest [[Lithren desert]], a small central southern patch of monsoon/savanna, and the southeast arid [[Palch steppes]]; and finally the eastern plains and the eastmost plains (separated by the [[Rhunorod range]]).

Lovyrn is surrounded by several major islands to the north east, the largest of which, a, forms two thin straits with the main body of Lovyrn as it wraps around to the north and south of the island. The next largest is b, which is about halfway between a and the mainland of [[Thena]]. The third largest, c, is just off the coast of Thena, not far from b. The next largest, d, is north of a and lies east of the main headland in the northeast of Lovyrn. 

Smaller islands are also scattered around this region, such as a1 to the northeast of a, b1 to the south of b as well as b2 just to b's southeast, the island f which lies off the western coast, and g which lies south of Lovyrn's southern arid coast. Finally, two major islands are found in Lovyrn's interior sea, e and f. E is located somewhat north of the centre point of the inner sea, and f is nestled in the south portion of the sea, enclosed by plains of south Lovyrn.

    <text bytes="1160" xml:space="preserve">A calendar is a system of organizing days. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months and years. A date is the designation of a single and specific day within such a system. A calendar is also a physical record (often paper) of such a system. A calendar can also mean a list of planned events, such as a court calendar or a partly or fully chronological list of documents, such as a calendar of wills. 

Periods in a calendar (such as years and months) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycle of the sun or the moon. The most common type of calendar was the lunisolar calendar, a lunar calendar that occasionally adds one intercalary month to remain synchronized with the solar year over the long term.

__TOC__

As Terracil has both days and years longer than that of earth, in order to compare time across the different planets, time must be converted. Though this would normally require only one conversion, in practice two conversions are used, as in some cases the number of days elapsed is more important than the exact number of seconds that have elapsed. 

 '''Converting Years'''
 Earth 365.24 days per year. Earth Years * 0.8226 = Terracil years (TY)
 Terracil 444.01 days per year = Earth Years (EY) / 0.8226

 '''Converting absolute time'''
 Earth 365.24 days, at 24 hours each. Earth time * 0.759317 = Terracil time (units in days or years)
 Terracil 444.01 days, at 26 hours each = Earth time / 0.759317
